The mechanism of electronic transport in organic crystals

Abstract

It is my experience that most scientists look at organic and inorganic crystals from two entirely different points of view, and they therefore have an intuitive feeling that the motion of electrons through an organic crystal must differ in some fundamental way from that in inorganic crystals. The argument of this paper is that this expectation is incorrect and that, on the contrary, electronic transport in organic crystals proceeds by the same sorts of processes and can be described with the same sorts of theories as in inorganic crystals.
