Abstract

We provide here a theory to account for the thirty-year-old outstanding experimental results by Donovan and Wilson on the electron transport in polydiacetylene (PDA) single crystals. Both supersonic and subsonic velocities are described. In the former case we predict that the velocity is field independent for several decades of the field strength in accordance with experimental results. The results offer a novel form of electron transport in addition to the previously known form in (trans)polyacetylene and other conjugated polymers.
