Hopping transport in polymers showing giant polarization

A major portion of the experimental investigations concerned with the electrical properties of non-crystalline solids has dealt with inorganic systems.
¹
Of those, most were covalent solids, and rather few were molecular solids. In our opinion, an important extension of the existing knowledge concerning the electronic properties of disordered systems and amorphous solids can be supplied by studying non-crystalline molecular solids, such as the conductive organic polymers. This paper reports some results of such a study on two high polymers of the polyacene quinone radical (PAQR) type.
