TL;DR: This work demonstrates engineering of quantum emitters in hBN multi-layers using either electron beam irradiation or annealing to exhibit a broad range of multicolor room-temperature single photon emissions across the visible and the near-infrared ranges.
Tunable and high purity room-temperature single photon emission from atomic defects in hexagonal boron nitride
Gabriele Grosso,Hyowon Moon,Benjamin Lienhard,Sajid Ali,Dmitri K. Efetov,Marco M. Furchi,Pablo Jarillo-Herrero,Michael J. Ford,Igor Aharonovich,Dirk Englund +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that strain control allows spectral tunability of hBN single photon emitters over 6 meV, and material processing sharply improves the single-photon purity.
A review of the optical properties of alloys and intermetallics for plasmonics
TL;DR: In this article, the optical properties of a number of alloys, doped metals, intermetallics, silicides, metallic glasses and high pressure materials are discussed, and the authors conclude that due to the probability of low frequency interband transitions, materials with partially occupied d-states perform poorly as plasmonic materials.
