This study uses the electron\u2019s zero-field splitting and the nitrogen\u2019s nuclear quadrupole splitting in a composite frequency reference that cancels first-order temperature dependence, reducing thermal drift by more than an order of magnitude. The results establish a practical route toward robust, chip-scale diamond clocks that simultaneously support magnetic, electric, thermal, and inertial sensing in a single integrated platform.Show AbstractPDF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDITORS&#8217; SUGGESTION Physical Review Applied Toward a temperature-insensitive composite diamond clock Sean Lourette, Andrey Jarmola, Jabir Chathanathil, Victor M.
