Abstract

The c -axis resistivity ρ c which indicates a metallic temperature dependence was measured in stage 1 and 2 potassium-hydrogen-graphite intercalation compounds (KH-GICs) in the temperature range of 1.5–300 K below 15 kbar. The pressure effect on ρ c suggests a hopping conduction process for the c -axis transport mechanism, which is governed by the number of conduction paths and the transfer integral across the intercalate layer. The magnitudes of ρ c in stage 1 and stage 2 compounds are mainly dominated by the number of their impurity and defects concentrations in the conduction paths.
