Perfecting the view on a crystal’s imperfecti - EurekAlert


<p>Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has gained widespread attention and application across various quantum fields and technologies because it contains single-photon emmiters (SPEs), along with&nbsp;a layered structure that is&nbsp;easy to&nbsp;manipulation. The&nbsp;precise mechanisms governing the&nbsp;development and function of SPEs within&nbsp;hBN have remained elusive. Now, a new study published in <em>Nature Materials</em> reveals significant insights into the properties of hBN, offering a solution to discrepancies in previous research on the proposed origins of SPEs within the material.</p>
