Additional information
This work was funded by a £260k EPSRC first grant (Drew; EP/G054568/1). It shows that spin orbit interaction (SOI) is present in organic semiconductors (OSC), a neglected mechanism for electron spin relaxation in OSC. It also showed that SOI is at least as important, if not more, than the hyperfine interaction that is commonly thought to be dominant. The underlying physics discovered by this research was used as one of the main justifications of a successful ERC starting grant (Drew). The work is part of a wider international collaboration on organic spintronics, involving researchers from USA, Japan, China, and Europe.
