High‐pressure, high‐temperature sintering of detonation nanodiamonds is used to fabricate material containing high concentrations of nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers, without post or prior irradiation of the samples. The concentration of the NV centers in the sintered nanodiamond clusters is up to 10 4 ppm (1%) and is three orders of magnitude higher than any reported so far.
