Dopant-induced crossover from 1D to 3D charge transport in conjugated polymers
The interplay between inter- and intra-chain charge transport in bulk
polythiophene in the hopping regime has been clarified by studying the
conductivity as a function of frequency (up to 3 THz), temperature and doping
level. We present a model which quantitatively explains the observed crossover
from quasi-one-dimensional transport to three-dimensional hopping conduction
with increasing doping level. At high frequencies the conductivity is dominated
by charge transport on one-dimensional conducting chains.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
