• Abstract: We present a group theoretical and ab-initio analysis of lattice point defects in fluorographene, with a focus on neutral and negative $\text{V}_{\text{CF}}$ vacancies. By using a combination of density functional theory calculations and group theory analysis, we investigate the many-body configurations of the defects and calculate the vertical absorption and zero-phonon line energies of the excited states and their dependence with strain. The description of the defects is extended by computing their formation energy, as well as further relevant parameters as the Jahn-Teller energy for neutral $\text{V}_{\text{CF}}$ and the zero field splitting for negative $\text{V}_{\text{CF}}$ vacancies. Based on our results, we discuss possible quantum applications of these color centers when coupled to mechanical oscillation modes of the hosting two-dimensional material. The symmetry and active orbitals of the defects exhibit a parallelism with those of the extensively studied NV centers in diamond. In this context, the studied defects emerge as interesting candidates for the development of two-dimensional quantum devices based on fluorographene.

  We show that phonons are responsible for the observed luminescence, which otherwise would be dark due to symmetry. We also show that the symmetry breaking induced by the static Jahn-Teller effect is not able to describe the presence of the experimentally observed peak at 1.5 eV.
