Abstract

The processes of generation and transport of excess charge carriers in molecularly doped polycarbonate and polystyrene were experimentally studied at room temperature. The polymers were ionized by 7-and 50-keV electrons. The radiation-chemical yield of free ions was determined by means of the universal method based on the combination of the time-of-flight technique in two carrier generation modes (surface and bulk generation) with the measurement of nonsteady-state conductivity. It was shown that the radiation-chemical yield of free ions under irradiation by 7-keV electrons is almost the same as that in the case of 50-keV electrons, despite the substantially different values of the linear energy transfer for these electrons.
