Electrically detected magnetic resonance of neutral donors interacting with a two-dimensional electron gas

Abstract

We have measured the electrically detected magnetic resonance of channel-implanted donors in silicon field-effect transistors in resonant X- (GHz) and W-band (GHz) microwave cavities, with corresponding Zeeman fields of T and T, respectively. It is found that the conduction electron resonance signal increases by two orders of magnitude from X- to W-band, while the hyperfine-split donor resonance signals are enhanced by over one order of magnitude. We rule out a bolometric origin of the resonance signals, and find that direct spin-dependent scattering between the two-dimensional electron gas and neutral donors is inconsistent with the experimental observations. We propose a new polarization transfer model from the donor to the conduction electrons as the main contributer to the spin resonance signals observed.
