Conductivity in Quasi-One-Dimensional Organic Metals - A New Approach
A new model for the electric conductivity in quasi-one-dimensional organic metals is proposed. The conductivity is attributed to electron hopping between the separate segments of the one-dimensional donor stacks. The metalliclike behavior of the conductivity at the room temperature as well the low temperature conductivity maximum are explained. The relation of the model with the Anderson’s confinement hypothesis is briefly discussed.
