| contents | Color center PL5 in 4H silicon carbide (4H-SiC) has drawn significant attention due to its room-temperature quantum coherence properties and promising potential of quantum sensing applications. The preparation of PL5 ensemble is a critical prerequisite for practical applications. In this work, we investigated the formation of PL5 ensembles in types of 4H-SiC wafers, focusing on their suitability as hosts for PL5 ensemble. Results demonstrate that PL5 signals are exclusively observed in high-purity semi-insulating (HPSI) substrates, whereas divacancies PL1-PL4 can be detected in both HPSI and epitaxial samples. The type of in-plane stress in HPSI and epitaxial hosts is compressive in the same order of magnitude. Defects like stacking faults and dislocations are not observed simultaneously in the PL5 ensemble. Notably, the PL5 ensemble exhibits a relatively uniform distribution in the HPSI host, highlighting its readiness for integration into quantum sensing platforms. Furthermore, signal of PL5 can always be detected in the HPSI samples with different doses of electron irradiation, which suggests that HPSI wafers are more suitable hosts for the production of PL5 ensemble. This work provides critical insights into the material-specific requirements for PL5 ensemble formation and advances the development of 4H-SiC-based quantum technologies. |
