ABSTRACT

Seki (1974) measured electron mobilities in 1:1 TNF:PVK charge-transfer complexes. The mobilities were in the range of 10~9 to 10-6 cm2/V-s and strongly field dependent. Seki’s results show the superimposition of current transients for transit times varying by over two orders of magnitude. This characteristic is

described as universality and a fundamental prediction of the Scher-Montroll (1975) formalism. Seki was the first to demonstrate universality in polymers. The results were described by a kinetic rate model. The model has been described in the preceding chapter.
