Tunable and high-purity room temperature single-photon emission from atomic defects in hexagonal boron nitride

Inhomogeneous spectral distribution and multi-photon emission are currently hindering the use of defects in layered hBN as reliable single photon emitters. Here, the authors demonstrate strain-controlled wavelength tuning and increased single photon purity through suitable material processing.
