Purdue researchers develop new technique to boost overall brightness of spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride

Researchers with the Birck Nanotechnology Center and Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University have developed a technique to improve the overall brightness of the negatively charged boron vacancy (VB–) in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Researchers observed overall enhanced emission of 250 times by coupling the defect with silver-based nanopatch antennas (NPAs), making it much easier for researchers to use VB– defects in practical quantum sensing applications like measuring magnetic fields, pressure, temperature, and nuclear spins with extreme sensitivity.
