The concept of optically addressable spin states in solids is considered as a major building block of upcoming quantum technologies. While several candidates in 3D crystals including diamond and silicon carbide have been extensively studied, the identification of spin-dependent processes in 2D materials has remained elusive. Optically accessible spin states in hBN are already theoretically predicted, however, they have not been observed experimentally yet. We investigated a bright 850nm defect-related fluorescence in hBN with magnetic resonance techniques and identified it as a negatively charged boron vacancy V_B⁻, possessing a spin triplet ground state and a zero field splitting of 3.5 GHz [1]. The defect shows an optically detected magnetic resonance signature at room temperature and can be optically spin polarized at lower temperatures. Our results constitute a leap forward in establishing two-dimensional hBN as a prime platform for scalable quantum technologies.
