Description

A new effect called 'charge flipping of spin carriers' is proposed that can be realized in π-conjugated polymeric molecules, where the charge of a spin carrier can be reversed by photoexcitation. The physical mechanism of electron spin resonance, namely spin flipping of charge carriers, is just the complementary effect to charge flipping of spin carriers. The latter phenomenon shows promise for the design of organic optical spin valves
