Manipulating the wavelength of single photons in insulating van der Waals heterostructures: theory and application to bilayer hexagonal boron nitride
arXiv:2311.16299 · doi:10.1021/acsanm.3c05953
Abstract
Van der Waals heterostructures are promising for adding new functionalities to two-dimensional materials. In this study, we focus on single photon emitters hosted in one layer and adjacent to other insulating two-dimensional material. Specifically, we show how the emission energy is modified by such a heterostructure. We developed a general approach to elucidate the mechanisms affecting the emission energy and studied the particular case of carbon substitutions in the hexagonal boron nitride bilayer.
