Abstract

We have used electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) to study the spin dependent processes on the operation of diodes based on poly(2-metoxy-5-(2'-etil-hexiloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) and on tris-8-hydroxyquinoline-aluminum (Alq3). In MEH-PPV based diodes, the EDMR signal is found to be composed of two lines, a Lorentzian with ΔHpp=5 G and a Gaussian with ΔHpp=24 G. The g-factor of both components is about 2.0022. The signal is quenching, typically 10-5 in amplitude, and is assigned to the spin-dependent fusion of two like-charged polarons to spinless bipolarons. The signal dependence on temperature and on injected current is investigated. For bipolar Alq3 diodes the EDMR signal can be decomposed in at least two Gaussians, depending on the bias and temperature of measurements. The two components are characterized by g-factors close to 2.004 and a peak-to-peak linewidth (ΔHpp) of 12 and 24 G, respectively. The broad line is attributed to the resonance in Alq anions, while the 12 G is attributed to cationic states

Electron paramagnetic resonance

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) or electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is a method for studying materials that have unpaired electrons. The basic concepts of EPR are analogous to those of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), but the spins excited are those of the electrons instead of the atomic nuclei. EPR spectroscopy is particularly useful for studying metal complexes and organic radicals. EPR was first observed in Kazan State University by Soviet physicist Yevgeny Zavoisky in 1944, and was developed independently at the same time by Brebis Bleaney at the University of Oxford.

Conductive polymer

Conductive polymers or, more precisely, intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) are organic polymers that conduct electricity. Such compounds may have metallic conductivity or can be semiconductors. The main advantage of conductive polymers is that they are easy to process, mainly by dispersion. Conductive polymers are generally not thermoplastics, i.e., they are not thermoformable. But, like insulating polymers, they are organic materials. They can offer high electrical conductivity but do not show similar mechanical properties to other commercially available polymers.

Nuclear magnetic resonance

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon in which nuclei in a strong constant magnetic field are perturbed by a weak oscillating magnetic field (in the near field) and respond by producing an electromagnetic signal with a frequency characteristic of the magnetic field at the nucleus. This process occurs near resonance, when the oscillation frequency matches the intrinsic frequency of the nuclei, which depends on the strength of the static magnetic field, the chemical environment, and the magnetic properties of the isotope involved; in practical applications with static magnetic fields up to ca.
