Within a diffusive description of polaron-bipolaron transport including polaron-bipolaron conversion, we find that the bipolaron density depends on the angle theta. This is remarkable, given the fact that bipolarons are spinless quasiparticles, and opens a new way to probe spin accumulation in organic polymers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-09-02T04:57:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin transport", "arbitrary angle theta", "generic organic polymer", "bipolaron density depends", "probe spin accumulation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics Condensed Matter", "year": 2009, "month": "Oct", "volume": 21, "number": 41, "pages": 415302 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009JPCM...21O5302I" } } }
