Impurity spins in crystal matrices are promising components in quantum technologies, particularly if they can maintain their spin properties when close to surfaces and material interfaces. Here, we investigate an attractive candidate for microwave-domain applications, the spins of group-VI $^{125}$Te$^+$ donors implanted into natural Si at depths of 20 and 300 nm. We examine spin activation yield, relaxation ($T_1$) and coherence times ($T_2$) and show how a zero-field 3.5 GHz `clock transition extends spin coherence times to over 1 ms and narrows the inhomogeneous spin linewidth to 0.6 MHz. We show that surface band-bending can be used to ionise Te to spin-active Te$^+$ state, and that coherence times of near-surface donors are comparable to the bulk. We demonstrate initialization protocols using optical illumination to generate excess Te$^+$. These results show that $^{125}$Te$^+$ is a promising system for silicon-based spin qubits and ensemble quantum memories.
Substitutional donor atoms in silicon are promising qubits for quantum computation with extremely long relaxation and dephasing times demonstrated. One of the critical challenges of scaling these systems is determining inter-donor distances to achiev
Ensembles of bismuth donor spins in silicon are promising storage elements for microwave quantum memories due to their long coherence times which exceed seconds. Operating an efficient quantum memory requires achieving critical coupling between the s
We provide here a roadmap for modeling silicon nano-devices with one or two group V donors (D). We discuss systems containing one or two electrons, that is, D^0, D^-, D_2^+ and D_2^0 centers. The impact of different levels of approximation is discuss
We present a complete theoretical treatment of Stark effects in doped silicon, whose predictions are supported by experimental measurements. A multi-valley effective mass theory, dealing non-perturbatively with valley-orbit interactions induced by a
Spins of donor electrons and nuclei in silicon are promising quantum bit (qubit) candidates which combine long coherence times with the fabrication finesse of the silicon nanotechnology industry. We outline a potentially scalable spin qubit architect
