Electron and nuclear spins associated with point defects in semiconductors are promising systems for solid state quantum technologies with applications in quantum information processing and quantum sensing. In a typical quantum register architecture, an electron spin is used as an ancilla for readout and control, whereas nuclear spins serve as register qubits [1-2]. Flip-flop processes of the electron spin limit the nuclear spin coherence time. This limitation can be overcome by controlling the defect’s ionization state. Here we increase the coherence time of the 14N nuclear spin associated with the Nitrogen-Vacancy center in diamond by controlling its charge state. We exploit planar double junction diodes fabricated by surface transfer doping with hydrogen [3] to rapidly switch the charge state from NV− (S=1) to NV+ (S=0). We verify the NV+ state by nuclear magnetic resonance and demonstrate the enhancement of the 14N coherence time. [1] Saeedi et al., Science 342, 830 (2013). [2] P.C.
