Overview

Analysis reveals challenges in atomic resolution imaging, highlighting issues with single photon emitters in hexagonal boron nitride.

Key Points

  • Imaging limitations hinder detection of defects in multilayer hBN.
  • Atomic resolution imaging shows threefold astigmatism affecting contrast.
  • Boron vacancies and nitrogen vacancies become indistinguishable beyond certain thickness.
  • Misidentification risks increase due to residual aberrations in imaging.
