First principles and scanning tunneling spectroscopical evidences for thermodynamically stable "on-top" sulfur divacancy in monolayer WS
Weiru Chen, John C. Thomas, Yihuang Xiong +10
Chalcogen vacancies in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as WS, play a crucial role in various applications ranging from optoelectronics and catalysis t…
First principles computations of the Stark shift of a defect-bound exciton: the case of the T center in silicon
Louis Alaerts, Yihuang Xiong, Sinéad M. Griffin +1
The T center in silicon has recently drawn a lot of attention for its potential in quantum information science. The sensitivity of the zero-phonon line (ZPL) to electrical field wa…
Identifying high performance spectrally-stable quantum defects in diamond
Yihuang Xiong, Yizhi Zhu, Shay McBride +2
Point defects in semiconductors are becoming central to quantum technologies. They can be used as spin qubits interfacing with photons, which are fundamental for building quantum n…
Discovery of T center-like quantum defects in silicon
Yihuang Xiong, Jiongzhi Zheng, Shay McBride +3
Quantum technologies would benefit from the development of high performance quantum defects acting as single-photon emitters or spin-photon interface. Finding such a quantum defect…
