| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the feasibility of atomic scale neutron dosimetry by measuring NV center in diamond which is generated by fast neutron irradiation and trace nitrogen in crystals by annealing. The sample was prepared by adding a trace amount of nitrogen during synthesis using microwave plasma CVD method. The sample after neutron irradiation or electron beam irradiation showed a strong increase of NV center, and density could not be quantified. NV center was concentrated on the growth surface side. This may be showed that the incorporation of nitrogen was large at the completion of synthesis. In order to perform dosimetry, it is necessary for nitrogen to be incorporated uniformly throughout the sample, so optimization of nitrogen uptake during CVD synthesis is indispensable.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では高速中性子によってダイヤモンド中に生成された空孔と微量な窒素をアニールによってNVセンター化することでアトミックスケールの中性子線量計測の実現可能性を実験的に検証した。試料はCVD法により作製した。照射前と比較し、中性子又は電子線照射後の試料はNVセンターの強い増加を示した。定量化までは至らなかったが、本方式によりアトミックスケールの中性子線量計の成立可能性が実験的に示された。
