contents We report measurements of room-temperature spin-relaxation times $T_1$ and $T_2$ of charge-carrier spins in a $π$-conjugated polymer thin film under bipolar injection and low ($1\mbox{ mT}\lesssim B_0\lesssim 10\mbox{ mT}$) static magnetic fields, using electrically detected magnetic resonant Hahn-echo and inversion-recovery pulse sequences. The experiments confirm the correlation between the magnetic-field sensitive observables of radical-pair processes, which include both the spin-dependent recombination currents in organic semiconductors and the associated spin-relaxation times when random local hyperfine fields and external magnetic fields compete in magnitude. Whereas a striking field dependence of spin-lattice relaxation exists in the low-field regime, the apparent spin decoherence time remains field independent as the distinction between the two is lifted at low fields.
