Abstract
We report on magnetic-field effects in illuminated tetracene field-effect transistors. A decrease inthe photocurrent is observed when an external magnetic field is applied. In this case, the resistanceof the conducting channel increases by up to 0.75%, which leads to positive magnetoresistance.This can be attributed to: (1) A magnetic field-induced decrease in the interaction rate betweentriplet excitons and trapped holes. (2) The coupling between the singlet and the triplet manifold ofstates is decreased in a magnetic field and, hence, the singlet exciton fission and triplet excitonfusion rate constants are reduced.
