Unlocking amplified magneto-photocurrent using multi-field manipulation in nonfullerene organic bulk heterojunction systems

An effective manipulation of polaron pairs (PPs) for realizing amplified magneto-photocurrent (AMPC) is of critical importance toward the development of low power consumption and high-performance organic spin-optoelectronic devices, for instance magneto-photo-volatile memories. By far, it is challenging and there is a lack of method to reach AMPC. The typical magneto-photocurrent due to the light-matter interanion is primarily for unveiling the spin-dependent electron-hole dissociation in organic solar cells. Herein, we achieved an AMPC of ∼140% in nonfullerene organic bulk heterojunction systems at room temperature. We found that the amplification can be effectively triggered by a multi-field to a large number of photogenerated PPs at intermediate charge transfer states. We further postulate that, at steady state, they may experience a cyclic photophysical process due to the triplet-exciton polaron interaction. This study paves the way for the realization of AMPC in the organic spin-optoelectronic system.
