Measurements of T2 of Electron Spins at Bound Donor Sites in Si:P

摘要

The goal of the project was to establish the limitations on the transverse spin relaxation of bound donors in dilute semiconductors, in particular in Si:P. The experiments were undertaken in two steps, first using the existing pulsed EPR spectrometer in Prof. Holczer's laboratory, and then extending to longer times after obtaining an upgrade in hardware from Bruker Biospin Corporation.
