Magnetometers have applications in many aspects of our lives: from navigation, the detection of submarines, and mobile phones to the exploration of our solar system. Recently, solid-state magnetometers have stimulated interest due to their smaller size, weight, and power compared to existing magnetometers, and their potential to self-calibrate; two features which improve the efficiency of any device carrying a magnetometer. In this work we model optically detected magnetic resonance of the silicon vacancy in 6H-SiC, a budding candidate for solid-state quantum magnetometry. We model photoluminescence with steady-state density matrix populations and Lindblad master equations, and compare to recent experimental results.
