Half-filled orbital and unconventional geometry of a common dopant in Si(001)

K. Iwaya, D. R. Bowler, V. Brazdova +6

The determining factor of the bulk properties of doped Si is the column rather than the row in the periodic table from which the dopants are drawn. It is unknown whether the basic…

Initializing, manipulating and storing quantum information with bismuth dopants in silicon

Gavin W. Morley, Marc Warner, A. Marshall Stoneham +4

A prerequisite for exploiting spins for quantum data storage and processing is long spin coherence times. Phosphorus dopants in silicon (Si:P) have been favoured as hosts for such…

A Novel Route for the Inclusion of Metal Dopants in Silicon

Jules A. Gardener, Irving Liaw, Gabriel Aeppli +9

We report a new method to introduce metal atoms into silicon wafers, using negligible thermal budget. Molecular thin films are irradiated with ultra-violet (UV) light releasing met…

A new model for magnetoreception

A. Marshall Stoneham, Erik M Gauger, Kyriakos Porfyrakis +2

Certain migratory birds can sense the earth's magnetic field. The nature of this process is not yet properly understood. Here we offer a simple explanation according to which birds…

Could one make a diamond-based quantum computer?

A Marshall Stoneham, A H Harker, Gavin W Morley

We assess routes to a diamond-based quantum computer, where we specifically look towards scalable devices, with at least 10 linked quantum gates. Such a computer should satisfy the…

Silicon as a model ion trap: time domain measurements of donor Rydberg states

N Q Vinh, P T Greenland, K Litvinenko +9

One of the great successes of quantum physics is the description of the long-lived Rydberg states of atoms and ions. The Bohr model is equally applicable to donor impurity atoms in…
