B}, month = {Apr}, note = {It is demonstrated that Silicon carbide (SiC) with a natural isotope abundance can preserve a coherent spin superposition in silicon vacancies over an unexpectedly long time exceeding 20 ms. The spin-locked subspace with a drastically reduced decoherence rate is attained through the suppression of heteronuclear spin crosstalking by applying a moderate magnetic field in combination with dynamic decoupling from the nuclear spin baths. Furthermore, Several phonon-assisted mechanisms of spin-lattice relaxation is identidied, and it is found that it can be extremely long at cryogenic temperatures, equal to or even longer than 10 s.}, pages = {161201-1--161201-5}, title = {Locking of electron spin coherence above 20 ms in natural silicon carbide}, volume = {95}, year = {2017} }
