Abstract

We report on the experimental observation of large magnet field effect (MFE) on current and electroluminescence (EL) in polyfluorene organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). We provide a comprehensive overview of the observed MFE. To the best of our knowledge, the mechanism causing these MFE is currently not known. Moreover, we show that these experiments do not allow determination whether the MFE acts on the carrier density or carrier mobility making any attempt of explaining it ambiguous. As a remedy, we performed magnetoresistance measurements in hole-only OLEDs and show that the MFE acts on the carrier mobility rather than carrier density.
