We study the carbon dimer defect in a hexagonal boron-nitride monolayer using the GW and Bethe-Salpeter many-body perturbation theories within a finite size cluster approach. While quasiparticle energies converge very slowly with system size due to missing long-range polarization effects, optical excitations converge much faster, with a $1/R^3$ scaling law with respect to cluster average radius. We obtain a luminescence zero-phonon energy of 4.36 eV, including significant 0.13 eV zero-point vibrational energy and 0.15 eV reorganization energy contributions. Inter-layer screening decreases further the emission energy by about 0.3 eV. These results bring support to the recent identification of the substitutional carbon dimer as the likely source of the zero-phonon 4.1 eV luminescence line. Finally, the GW quasiparticle energies are extrapolated to the infinite h-BN monolayer limit, leading to a predicted defect HOMO-LUMO photoemission gap of 7.6 eV. Comparison with the optical gap yields a very large excitonic binding energy of 3 eV for the associated localized Frenkel exciton.

We show that carbon-doped hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has extraordinary properties with many possible applications. We demonstrate that the substitution-induced impurity states, associated with carbon atoms, and their interactions dictate the elec
tronic structure and properties of C-doped h-BN. Furthermore, we show that stacking of localized impurity states in small C clusters embedded in h-BN forms a set of discrete energy levels in the wide gap of h-BN. The electronic structures of these C clusters have a plethora of applications in optics, magneto-optics, and opto-electronics.
We investigate tunneling in metal-insulator-metal junctions employing few atomic layers of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as the insulating barrier. While the low-bias tunnel resistance increases nearly exponentially with barrier thickness, subtle fea
tures are seen in the current-voltage curves, indicating marked influence of the intrinsic defects present in the hBN insulator on the tunneling transport. In particular, single electron charging events are observed, which are more evident in thicker-barrier devices where direct tunneling is substantially low. Furthermore, we find that annealing the devices modifies the defect states and hence the tunneling signatures.
Few-layer flakes of hexagonal boron nitride were prepared by ultrasonication of bulk crystals and agglomerated to form thin films. The transmission and reflection spectra of the thin films were measured. The spectral dependences of the linear and cir
cular polarization revealed a hidden anisotropy of the films over the whole sample area which could not be explained by the anisotropy of the chaotically-oriented individual particles. Statistical analysis of optical microscopy images showed a macroscopic particle density distribution with ordering corresponding to the optical axis observed in the polarization data.
Luminescent defect-centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have emerged as a promising 2D-source of single photon emitters (SPEs) due to their high brightness and robust operation at room temperature. The ability to create such emitters with well-de
fined optical properties is a cornerstone towards their integration into on-chip photonic architectures. Here, we report an effective approach to fabricate hBN single photon emitters (SPEs) with desired emission properties in two isolated spectral regions via the manipulation of boron diffusion through copper during atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD)--a process we term gettering. Using the gettering technique we deterministically place the resulting zero-phonon line (ZPL) between the regions 550-600 nm or from 600-650 nm, paving the way for hBN SPEs with tailored emission properties across a broad spectral range. Our ability to control defect formation during hBN growth provides a simple and cost-effective means to improve the crystallinity of CVD hBN films, and lower defect density making it applicable to hBN growth for a wide range of applications. Our results are important to understand defect formation of quantum emitters in hBN and deploy them for scalable photonic technologies.
We report the fabrication details and low-temperature characteristics of the first carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dots on flakes of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as substrate. We demonstrate that CNTs can be grown on hBN by standard chemical vapor dep
osition and that standard scanning electron microscopy imaging and lithography can be employed to fabricate nanoelectronic structures when using optimized parameters. This proof of concept paves the way to more complex devices on hBN, with more predictable and reproducible characteristics and electronic stability.
