Room temperature manipulation of long lifetime spins in metallic-like carbon nanospheres

Electronic decoherence due to spin-orbit and magnetic interactions limits the application of spintronic nanosystems in quantum information processing. Here, the authors report notably long spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times of 175 ns at room temperature in carbon nanospheres.
