QuantumDefectSilicon

The dataset used in the publication titled “High-throughput identification of spin-photon interfaces in silicon”. Using an automated first-principles computational workflow, we construct a dataset that details simple charged defects in silicon that are relevant for spin-photon interface applications. It encompasses properties vital for quantum defect design, including charged defect stability, excitation energy (determined using the single-shot hybrid functional approach), emission brightness, electronic structures, and more. The dataset encompasses all charged defects stable within the energy gap. We emphasized the importance of defect-bound excitons as telecom band emitters and proposed promising candidates for spin-photon interfaces.
