Dark-state triplet excitons lead to energy loss in organic light emitting diodes and photovoltaics; recently there has been considerable effort to convert this energy to improve device efficiency. While some observed improvement has been tied to control of the triplet state, alternate explanations cannot be ruled out as the influence of device architecture can mask underlying physics. In order to investigate triplet contribution to device output, we study single crystal 2,8-difluoro-5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl)anthradithiophene (diF TES ADT) using orientation dependence of the magneto-photocurrent (MPC) in a transistor. MPC changes with magnetic field orientation in the crystal, showing triplet-controlled device output using the anisotropic spin character of the triplet.
