C. K. Chiang,C. R. Fincher,Yung Woo Park,Alan J. Heeger,H. Shirakawa,E. J. Louis,S. C. Gau,Alan G. MacDiarmid +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a metal-to-insulator transition at dopant concentrations near 1% was shown for polyacetylene, a new class of conducting polymers in which the electrical conductivity can be systematically and continuously varied over a range of eleven orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of highly conducting films of derivatives of polyacetylene, (CH)x
C. K. Chiang,M. A. Druy,S. C. Gau,A. J. Heeger,E. J. Louis,Alan G. MacDiarmid,Yung Woo Park,H. Shirakawa +7 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyacetylene, (CH)x: n‐type and p‐type doping and compensation
TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments are reported which demonstrate that donors or acceptors can dope polyacetylene to n type or p type, respectively, and that the two kinds of dopants can compensate one another.
Journal ArticleDOI
Junction formation with pure and doped polyacetylene
Masanori Ozaki,D.L. Peebles,B. R. Weinberger,C. K. Chiang,S. C. Gau,A. J. Heeger,Alan G. MacDiarmid +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Schottky diodes formed between metallic AsF5-doped and n-type semiconductors indicate high [CH(AsF5)y]x electronegativity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyacetylene, (CH)x: Photoelectrochemical solar cell
TL;DR: In this article, photoelectrochemical photovoltaic cells have been fabricated using polyacetylene, (CH)x, as the active photo-electrode, using a sodium polysulfide solution as electrolyte, Voc∼0.3 V and Isc∼40 μA/cm2 were obtained under illumination of approximately 1 sun.
