Abstract

We report room -temperature measurements of the spin -relaxation times T1 and T2 of electron -hole chargecarrier spins in an organic light -emitting diode based on the pi -conjugated polymer SY-PPV at low (1 mT <= B0 <= 10 mT) static magnetic fields, using electrically detected-through spin-Rabi oscillation -controlled recombination currents-magnetic resonant Hahn -echo and inversion -recovery pulse sequences. When random local hyperfine fields and external magnetic fields compete in magnitude, charge carrier spin -quantization axes are no longer well defined, and striking magnetic -field dependencies of spin -lattice relaxation times are found, while spin coherence times remain mostly field -independent. These results corroborate the magnetic -field sensitivities of observables governed by radical -pair physics.
