Abstract
In this work, the dc electrical conductivity of ferric chloride doped polyphenylene samples as a function of temperature is measured using a low electric field, and based on the results, the dc conduction mechanism is discussed in order to further clarify the carrier mechanism for charge transport. The temperature dependence is studied in terms of some hopping models. It is observed that the multiphonon-assisted hopping of charge carriers with a weak interaction with phonons is the dominant charge transport process in the entire temperature range. 54 refs.
