High-Field Magnetoresistance of Organic Semiconductors

Abstract

The magneto-electronic field effects in organic semiconductors at high magnetic fields are described by field-dependent mixing between singlet and triplet states of weakly bound charge carrier pairs due to small differences in their Landé g-factors that arise from the weak spin-orbit coupling in the material. In this work, we corroborate theoretical models for the high-field magnetoresistance of organic semiconductors, in particular of diodes made of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) at low temperatures, by conducting magnetoresistance measurements along with multi-frequency continuous-wave electrically detected magnetic resonance experiments. The measurements were performed on identical devices under similar conditions in order to independently assess the magnetic field-dependent spin-mixing mechanism, the so-called Δg mechanism, which originates from differences in the charge-carrier g-factors induced by spin-orbit coupling.
