A central goal in the field of spintronics is the development of materials with high spin diffusion lengths. Their low cost and long spin lifetimes make organic semiconductors a potential candidate for technological applications. Here, we test the spin transport in the conjugated polymers IDTBT, N2200, P3HT and CDT-BTZ at different levels of chemical doping. Our devices generate a pure spin current using ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and exploit the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) to convert the spin current into a voltage. By varying the channel width of the organic between source and detector, we find a spin diffusion length of several hundred nanometers for P3HT doped with F4TCNQ. We use the dependence of the ISHE signal on thermal de-doping to test a theoretical model [1] that describes spin diffusion based on hopping and exchange coupling.
