Despite the great interest organic spintronics has recently attracted, there is only a partial understanding of the fundamental physics behind electron spin relaxation in organic semiconductors. Mechanisms based on hyperfine interaction have been demonstrated, but the role of the spin-orbit interaction remains elusive. Here, we report muon spin spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence...

Electron spin relaxation rate (eSR) is investigated on several organic semiconductors of different morphologies and molecular structures, using avoided level crossing muon spectroscopy as a local spin probe. We find that two functionalized acenes (polycrystalline tri(isopropyl)silyl-pentacene and amorphous 5,6,11,12- tetraphenyltetracene) exhibit eSRs with an Arrhenius-like temperature...

The phase diagram of a system of electrons hopping on a square lattice and interacting through long-range Coulomb forces is studied as a function of density and interaction strength. The presence of a lattice strongly enhances the stability of the Wigner crystal phase as compared to the case of the two-dimensional electron gas.

A one-dimensional tight-binding model of electrons with long-range Coulomb interactions is studied in the limit where double site occupancy is forbidden and the Coulomb coupling strength V is large with respect to the hopping amplitude t. The quantum problem of a kink–antikink pair generated in the Wigner lattice (the classical ground state for t=0) is solved for fillings n=1/s, where s is an...
