Abstract

Significant attention has been recently focused on the realization of high precision nanothermometry using the spin-resonance temperature shift of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. However, the precise physical origins of the temperature shift is yet to be understood. Here, the shifts of the center's optical and spin resonances are observed and a model is developed that identifies the origin of each shift to be a combination of thermal expansion and electron-phonon interactions. Our results provide insight into the center's vibronic properties and reveal implications for NV thermometry.
