Abstract

Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a promising platform for quantum applications as a host of a plethora of quantum emitters (QEs), including optically active spin defects. It is critical to achieve position-controlled generation of these QEs and their integration with photonic/plasmonic structures. In this work, we demonstrate a novel method to deterministically create single QEs in hBN by nanoindentation with atomic force microscopy, with a yield of >30% for various indent sizes. Furthermore, we also demonstrate a route to enhance the brightness of spin defects in hBN up to 120 times by coupling them with nano-patch antennas.
