	abstract = {The effects of weak magnetic fields on the photoconductivity of poly( p -phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and two derivatives; poly(1;4-phenylene-1;2-dimethoxyphenyl vinylene) (DMOP-PPV) and poly(2-phenyl-1;4-phenylene vinylene) (PPPV); were observed within the temperature range 130–350 K. These effects are attributed to the formation of interchain pairs involving a negative polaron and a positive polaron. A polaron pair is formed as a result of interchain electron transfer from a molecular exciton. The lifetime of a pair is estimated to be within the range of 10 -8– 10 -9 s. Thermal dissociation of a polaron pair produces free charge carriers; and recombination of the pair regenerates a singlet or triplet exciton on a single conjugated segment of a chain.},
