In the previous presentation, we have reported the electrical spin detection of a single silicon vacancy in 4H-SiC based on the photocurrent detected magnetic resonance (PDMR) technique. However, there has been a much larger spin-independent background than the spin-dependent signal, where the noise photocurrent in the background worsens the spin-readout efficiency. For practical applications, it is crucial to reduce the background and improve the spin-readout efficiency. Here, we focus on the photocurrent generation path of a silicon vacancy and achieve the superior spin-readout efficiency of PDMR to the conventional optical method, which has been predicted but not realized. In this presentation, we will report and discuss the details.
