Broadband electrically detected magnetic resonance of phosphorus donors in a silicon field-effect transistor

Abstract

We report electrically detected magnetic resonance of phosphorus donors in a silicon field-effect transistor. An on-chip transmission line is used to generate the oscillating magnetic field allowing broadband operation. At millikelvin temperatures, continuous wave spectra were obtained up to 40 GHz, using both magnetic field and microwave frequency modulation. The spectra reveal the hyperfine-split electron spin resonances characteristic for Si:P and a central feature which displays the fingerprint of spin-spin scattering in the two-dimensional electron gas.
