Inversion of magnetoresistance in organic semiconductors.
We report that organic semiconductors such as alpha-sexithiophene (alpha-6T) have magnetoresistance (MR) with unexpected sign changes; depending on applied voltage, temperature, and layer thickness, the resistance may either increase or decrease upon application of a small magnetic field (<100 mT). We propose that MR and the inversion of MR are due to the role of hyperfine interaction in a magnetic field, as illustrated by the recombination-limited regime.
