Would it be possible to use this as phenomenon in a clock?

That is the kind of thing we are working on understanding right now, and research proposals into this (so-called "quantum metrology") are underway. Is it definitely the case that radio-frequency pulse sequences (related to those used in our work) have been used for extending quantum coherence and making measurements, for instance in MRI. (In fact, that's the kind of work that got me into this!)
