Abstract The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond is a promising candidate for quantum computing applications and magnetic sensing applications, because it is an atomic-scale defect with stable coherence time (T 2) and reliable accessibility at room temperature.We demonstrated a method for improving the NV spin properties (the full width half ma
With the development of nanotechnology, bioengineering and biology, it is envisioned that biological nanomachines may flourish in assorted valuable applications considering their unique characteristics including energy efficiency, bio-compatibility and extremely small scale.However, current biological nanomachines are only able to perform simple ta
The atmosphere background wind field controls the propagation of gravity waves from the troposphere through the stratosphere into the mesosphere.During January 2003 the MaCWAVE campaign took place at Esrange, with the purpose of observing vertically ascending waves induced by orography.Temperature data from the U. Bonn lidar at Esrange (68°
In Niger, the growth in local demand for milk and meat makes it necessary to consider genetic improvement of the indigenous cattle.At the Toukounous breeding station, the Azawak zebu has undergone over 50 years of line breeding for milk and meat production traits.To understand the adoption potential of improved Azawak sires in Niger, this study pro
