Abstract
Electrical conductivity and conduction-electron spin resonance (CESR) have been studied in stage-2 acceptor α-graphite-nitric acid intercalation compound C10HNO3. It is found that the electrical conductivity σc along the c axis in the structurally incommensurate phase of this compound is temperature independent, whereas the electrical conductivity σa along carbon layers exhibits “metallic” temperature behavior. Analysis of the temperature dependences of σc, σa, and the CESR linewidth demonstrates that, in the incommensurate phase of the graphite intercalation compound, the electrical conductivity along the c axis is realized through a nonband mechanism—the transfer of free charge carriers along thin high-conductivity channels shunting the carbon layers adjacent to the intercalate.
