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…
A substitutional quantum defect in WS discovered by high-throughput computational screening and fabricated by site-selective STM manipulation
John C. Thomas, Wei Chen, Yihuang Xiong +21
Point defects in two-dimensional materials are of key interest for quantum information science. However, the space of possible defects is immense, making the identification of high…
