摘要

Abstract

Organic semiconductors (OSCs) have emerged as a compelling materials platform for spintronic research due to their light-element composition generally gives rise to weak spin–orbit coupling and hyperfine interactions

thereby enabling long spin relaxation time and spin diffusion length even at room temperature. These features have stimulated extensive interest in spin transport dynamics in OSCs

and rapid progress in both experimental characterization and theoretical modeling has substantially deepened on the understanding of spin transport

spin relaxation

and spin-dependent interactions in OSCs. In this Review

we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in spin transport dynamics in OSCs

with emphasis on spin transport characteristics

spin relaxation strengths and mechanisms in organic films

and spin transport processes in representative device architectures. Finally

we outline the key challenges that remain and highlight emerging opportunities for advancing the fundamental understanding and practical applications of organic spintronics.
