Description:
The effects of external magnetic fields on the electrical conductivity of organic semiconductors have been attributed to hyperfine coupling of the spins of the charge carriers and hydrogen nuclei. We studied this coupling directly by implementation of pulsed electrically detected nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The data revealed a fingerprint of the isotope (protium or deuterium) involved in the coherent spin precession observed in spin-echo envelope modulation. Furthermore, resonant control of the electric current by nuclear spin orientation was achieved with radiofrequency pulses in a double-resonance scheme, implying current control on energy scales one-millionth the magnitude of the thermal energy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Malissa, H -- Kavand, M -- Waters, D P -- van Schooten, K J -- Burn, P L -- Vardeny, Z V -- Saam, B -- Lupton, J M -- Boehme, C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Sep 19;345(6203):1487-90. doi: 10.1126/science.1255624.
