a

T* corresponds to the temperature at which Tm is limited by T1 given by Tm/T1 = 1.

b

Molecular complex.

c

Value reported for 171Yb.

d

For Gd3+, the excited state corresponds to the SOC multiplet and not a CF excited state. Given the 8S7/2 GS, the CF splitting is usually very small. This minimizes mixing from the excited 6P7/2 and 6D7/2 SOC multiplets and has been proposed to suppress decoherence due to the vanishing orbital angular momentum.

e

The values in the parenthesis correspond to the maximum value reported but measured at a lower temperature of 2–3 K. For a more direct comparison, the table is constructed with values reported at the base temperature of this study at T = 5 K.
