摘要
High-quality emission centers in two-dimensional materials are promising components for future photonic and optoelectronic applications. Carbon-enriched hexagonal boron nitride (hBN:C) layers host atom-like color-center (CC) defects with strong and robust photoemission up to room temperature. Placing the hBN:C layers on top of Ag triangle nanoparticles (NPs) accelerates the decay of the CC defects down to 46 ps from their reference bulk value of 350 ps. The ultrafast decay is achieved due to the efficient excitation of the plasmon modes of the Ag NPs by the near field of the CCs. Simulations of the CC/ Ag NP interaction show that higher Purcell values are expected, although the measured decay of the CCs is limited by the instrument response. The influence of the NP thickness on the Purcell factor of the CCs is analyzed. The ultrafast operation of the CCs in hBN:C layers paves the way for their use in demanding applications, such as single-photon emitters and quantum devices.
