Contribution & Novelties
The talk presents original research on using boron vacancy centers in hBN for quantum sensing, particularly in ultra-thin layers and under pressure. The finding that the zero-field splitting parameter E vanishes in few-layer hBN is novel and important for understanding the defect’s environment. The demonstration of magnetic imaging under pressure opens new possibilities for studying phase transitions in 2D magnets.
