摘要:
六方氮化硼(hBN)中的辐射缺陷在从深紫外到近红外波长的广阔光谱范围内具有活性。这些缺陷的代表体作用于明亮的单光子源、自旋1系统和多属性原子级传感器。它们主要在 bulk hBN 膜中被研究,其中缺陷与表面和界面效应解耦。在这里,我们展示了一种新的表面缺陷,其在绿色/黄色可见光谱范围内具有光学活性,其光物理特性与 bulk 对应物不同。高功率共振激光照射淬灭了这些缺陷的发光,这归因于光驱动的结构重构。淬灭的缺陷通过热循环过程恢复其发光能力,揭示了结构转换的激活能为24.5 meV。或者,通过表面化学永久淬灭缺陷,涉及通过锂化实现的功能团附着。这些机制被用来实现负对比直接激光写入,设计任意几何发光图案,在微观配置中按需设计。hBN中的表面活性辐射中心在探索环境敏感性、表面科学以及与光子结构或电子设备耦合方面显得特别有吸引力,通过利用宿主晶格的二维特性。
英文摘要:
Radiative defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are active in a broad spectral range from deep ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths. Representatives of these defects act as bright single photon sources, spin-1 systems, and multiproperty atomic-scale sensors. They are predominantly investigated in bulk hBN films, where defects are decoupled from surface and interfacial effects. Here, we demonstrate a novel class of surface defects optically active in the green/yellow visible spectral range, which exhibit photophysical properties distinct from their bulk counterparts. High-power resonant laser illumination quenched the emission from the ensemble of such defects, which was attributed to a light-driven structural reconfiguration. The quenched defects were found to recover their emissive capabilities via a thermal cycling process, revealing an activation energy of 24.5 meV for the structural transition. Alternatively, permanent quenching of the defects was triggered by surface chemistry, involving lithiation-enabled attachment of functional groups. These mechanisms were utilized to realize negative-contrast direct laser writing, designing arbitrary geometric emissive patterns on demand in a microscopic configuration. The surface-active radiative centers in hBN appear particularly attractive for exploring environmental sensitivity, surface science, and coupling to photonic structures or electronic devices by taking unique advantage of the two-dimensional characteristics of the host lattice.
