Single defect centers in diamond have been generated via nitrogen implantation. The defects have been investigated by single defect center fluorescence microscopy. Optical and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra unambiguously show that the produced defect is the nitrogen-vacancy color center. An analysis of the nitrogen flux together with a determination of the number of nitrogen-vacancy centers yields that on average one 2MeV nitrogen atom need to be implanted per defect center.
