Abstract

Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance measurements of donor electron spins in natural phosphorus-doped silicon (Si:P) and isotopically-purified 28Si:P show a strongly temperature-dependent longitudinal relaxation time, T1, due to an Orbach process with DeltaE = 126 K. The 2-pulse echo decay is exponential in 28Si:P, with the transverse relaxation (decoherence) time, T2, controlled by the Orbach process above ~12 K and by instantaneous diffusion at lower temperatures. Spin echo experiments with varying pulse turning angles show that the intrinsic T2 of an isolated spin in 28Si:P is ~60 ms at 7 K.
