Abstract
We analyze the electron spin relaxation rate 1/T1 of individual ion-implanted P31 donors in a large set of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) silicon nanoscale devices, with the aim of identifying spin relaxation mechanisms peculiar to the environment of the spins. The measurements are conducted at low temperatures (T≈100 mK) as a function of external magnetic field B0 and donor electrochemical potential μD. We observe a magnetic field dependence of the form 1/T1B05 for B03 T, corresponding to the phonon-induced relaxation typical of donors in the bulk. However, the relaxation rate varies by up to two orders of magnitude between different devices. We attribute these differences to variations in..
