Abstract
We studied magnetoconductance (MC) and magnetoelectroluminescence (MEL) in organic diodes from blends of -conjugated polymers and fullerenes at various concentrations, . The MC response is composed of several components that depend on the applied bias voltage and . A dominant positive low-field (LF) component, which also governs the MEL response, dramatically decreases and broadens in the blends, thus unraveling a positive high-field and negative LF components. The positive MC components are caused by electrostatically bound polaron pairs in unblended devices, and charge transfer pairs in the blends, which are dominated by two different field-induced spin sublevel mixing mechanisms. In contrast, the negative LF response is due to and pairs; this is confirmed by studying MC in electron- and hole-unipolar devices, which lack positive MC response.
