In addition, the figure shows hydrogen bubbles being generated from these defects that contain catalyst atoms (gray and dark spheres attached to the vacancies). Researchers shine a light with a color or energy on the material and get a different color from the defect. Image: Defects in the lattice structure of hexagonal boron nitride can be detected with photoluminescence.
