Magnetic-field-dependent quantum emission in hexagonal boron nitride at room temperature

The observation of magnetic field dependence of defects hosted in hBN has been elusive so far. Here, the authors perform an investigation of spin-related effects in the optical emission from hBN defects, and observe a magnetic field dependence in the intensity of the photoluminescence spectrum.
