Locking of electron spin coherence above 20 ms in natural silicon carbide

Locking of electron spin coherence above 20 ms in natural silicon carbide

We demonstrate that silicon carbide (SiC) with natural isotope abundance can preserve a coherent spin superposition in silicon vacancies over unexpectedly long time approaching 0.1 seconds. The spin-locked subspace with drastically reduced decoherence rate is attained through the suppression of heteronuclear spin cross-talking by applying a moderate magnetic field in …
