Toward the Identification of Atomic Defects in Hexagonal Boron Nitride: X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and First-Principles Calculations

Gabriel I. López-Morales, Nicholas V. Proscia, Gustavo E. López +2

Defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibit single-photon emission (SPE) and are thus attracting broad interest as platforms for quantum information and spintronic application…
