1. A thin plate of synthetic single crystal diamond material, the thin plate of synthetic single crystal diamond material having:
- a thickness in a range 100 nm to 50 μ
m;
a concentration of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy defects (NV−
) equal to or greater than 100 ppb (parts-per-billion);
a concentration of point defects other than the NV−
defects of below 200 ppm (parts-per-million);
a total nitrogen concentration equal to or greater than 10 ppm;
a concentration of all non-nitrogen point defects equal to or less than 1 ppm;
wherein at least one major face of the thin plate of synthetic single crystal diamond material comprises surface termination species which have zero nuclear spin and/or zero electron spin; and
wherein the product of the concentration of NV−
defects and decoherence time T2 in the thin plate of synthetic single crystal diamond material is at least 0.1 ppm μ
