Abstract
Pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance of phosphorous () in bulk crystalline silicon at very high magnetic fields () and low temperatures () is presented. We find that the spin-dependent capture and reemission of highly polarized () conduction electrons by equally highly polarized 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 , 50 times longer than the previous maximum for electrically detected spin readout experiments.
