Spin-relaxation times exceeding seconds for color centers with strong spin–orbit coupling in SiC

Spin-active color centers in solids show good performance for quantum technologies. Several transition-metal defects in SiC offer compatibility with telecom and semiconductor industries. However, whether their strong spin–orbit coupling degrades their spin lifetimes is not clear. We show that a comb...
