Abstract
The rate of free radical decay was measured at various temperatures using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Rate constants determined from first-order decay kinetics were used to determine the activation energy for the process of free radical decay. The similarity between the temperature dependence of free radical decay by heat and that of electrical conductivity has led us to consider the possibility that the two processes may be related. Mechanisms by which a population of electron-hole conducting states may lead to free radical decay are outlined and experimental data relating to these mechanisms are discussed.
