Analogous Atomic and Electronic Properties between VN and VNCB Defects in Hexagonal Boron Nitride by Chang-Youn Moon, Kee-Suk Hong, Yong-Sung Kim

“…Using first-principles calculations, we find that nitrogen-vacancy defect VN has a lower energy structure in C1h symmetry in 1− charge state than the previously known D3h symmetry structure. Noting that carbon has one more valence electron than boron species, our finding naturally points to the correspondence between VN and VNCB defects with one charge state difference between them, which is indeed confirmed by the similarity of atomic symmetries, density of states, and excitation energies. …”
