Note: Bold numbers indicate occupied states.

All the values in the table were theoretically estimated in this work, and the numbers between parentheses correspond to results with SOC. Defect levels are relative to the VBM. Majority (minority) spin is referred to as spin up (down). The ex, ey, and a1 columns indicate a1, b2, and b2' for CBVN in hBN, respectively89. Note that the notations, ex, ey, and a1, are not valid anymore within SOC.
