Low-dimensional wide bandgap semiconductors open a new playing field in quantum optics using sub-bandgap excitation. 2D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been reported to host single quantum emitters (QEs), linking QE density to perimeters. [1] We investigate a curvature and perimeter-abundant BN system - one-dimensional BN nanotubes (BNNTs).
I discuss our recent publication [2] demonstrating similarities between QEs in BNNT and h-BN for: Emission spectra, anti-bunching, SEM imagery, curvature effects, boron-oxide emission and sensitivity to commercial solvents.
These findings open possibilities for precision engineering of QEs, puts h-BN under a similar umbrella of transition metal dichalcogenides QEs and provides a model explaining QEs spatial localization and formation using electron and ion irradiation and chemical etching.
