Abstract

Pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance of phosphorous (P-31) in bulk crystalline silicon at very high magnetic fields (B-0 > 8.5 T) and low temperatures (T=2.8 K) is presented. We find that the spin-dependent capture and reemission of highly polarized (> 95%) conduction electrons by equally highly polarized P-31 donor electrons introduces less decoherence than other mechanisms for spin-to-charge conversion. This allows the electrical detection of spin coherence times in excess of 100 mu s, 50 times longer than the previous maximum for electrically detected spin readout experiments.
