The resistance of a polymer semiconductor—weakly doped polyacetylene—has been observed to decrease under the influence of a microwave magnetic field under electron-spin-resonance conditions. The effect is related to a change in the probability for the hopping of an electron in a short-lived pair consisting of two paramagnetic centers while hopping is forbidden in the triplet state of the pair.
