Electrical Conductivity in Doped Polyacetylene

Doped polyacetylene forms a new class of conducting polymers in which the electrical conductivity can be systematically and continuously varied over a range of eleven orders of ...

Polyacetylene, (CH)<i>x</i>: <i>n</i>-type and <i>p</i>-type doping and compensation

A series of experiments are reported which demonstrate that donors or acceptors can dope polyacetylene to n type or p type, respectively, and that the two kinds of dopants can c...
