Electrical Detection of Coherent Nuclear Spin Oscillations in Phosphorus-Doped Silicon Using Pulsed ENDOR
We demonstrate the electrical detection of pulsed X-band Electron Nuclear
Double Resonance (ENDOR) in phosphorus-doped silicon at 5\,K. A pulse sequence
analogous to Davies ENDOR in conventional electron spin resonance is used to
measure the nuclear spin transition frequencies of the P nuclear spins,
where the P electron spins are detected electrically via spin-dependent
transitions through Si/SiO interface states, thus not relying on a
polarization of the electron spin system. In addition, the electrical detection
of coherent nuclear spin oscillations is shown, demonstrating the feasibility
to electrically read out the spin states of possible nuclear spin qubits.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Electrical detection of spin echoes for phosphorus donors in silicon
The electrical detection of spin echoes via echo tomography is used to
observe decoherence processes associated with the electrical readout of the
spin state of phosphorus donor electrons in silicon near a SiO interface.
Using the Carr-Purcell pulse sequence, an echo decay with a time constant of
is observed, in good agreement with theoretical modeling
of the interaction between donors and paramagnetic interface states. Electrical
spin echo tomography thus can be used to study the spin dynamics in realistic
spin qubit devices for quantum information processing.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure
Lock-in detection for pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance
We show that in pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance (pEDMR)
signal modulation in combination with a lock-in detection scheme can reduce the
low-frequency noise level by one order of magnitude and in addition removes the
microwave-induced non-resonant background. This is exemplarily demonstrated for
spin-echo measurements in phosphorus-doped Silicon. The modulation of the
signal is achieved by cycling the phase of the projection pulse used in pEDMR
for the read-out of the spin state.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
