Title: Self-protected nanoscale thermometry based on spin defects in silicon carbide,
Abstract: Quantum sensors with solid state electron spins have attracted considerable
interest due to their nanoscale spatial resolution.A critical requirement is to
suppress the environment noise of the solid state spin sensor.Here we
demonstrate a nanoscale thermometer based on silicon carbide (SiC) electron
spins.We experimentally demonstrate that the performance of the spin sensor is
robust against dephasing due to a self protected machenism. The SiC thermometry
may provide a promising platform for sensing in a noisy environment ,e.g.
biological system sensing.
