Phonon-assisted tunneling of electrons between nonidentical quantum dots in a magnetic field has been recently shown to be affected by a spin pure dephasing. The process is due to the mismatch of the Zeeman splittings caused by the difference of effective electron g-factors in the two dots. Based on both analytical estimation and an accurate numerical modeling of a double quantum dot system, we show that this dephasing can be canceled by applying an appropriately tuned magnetic-field gradient that compensates for the built-in inequality of the Zeeman splittings.
