Magnetic Hyperfine Modulation of Dye-Sensitized Delayed Fluorescence in an Organic Crystal

Abstract
Magnetic fields were found to decrease rhodamine-B—sensitized delayed fluorescence in anthracene by up to 60% at 10 mTorr. An inverse but smaller effect was found on sensitized photoconductivity. The observations are explained in terms of a magnetic-field-dependent recombination of surface electrons and injected holes, with the field scale being fixed by hyperfine interactions.
