Description

We have carried out longitudinal field (LF) muon-spin-relaxation (μSR) measurements in polythiophene based polymers of Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) with regio-regular structure to elucidate the intra- and inter-chain hopping mechanisms. The LF dependent muon-spin depolarization rate indicates the occurrence of dimensional crossover from 1 dimensional intra-chain spin diffusion to 3 dimensional inter-chain spin diffusion at 25 K.
