Temperature Dependence of Conductivity of Tetrathiafulvalene-Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) Single Crystals

Abstract
The conductivity of single crystals of tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) was measured over the temperature range 40-300 K. The maximum low-temperature conductivity parallel to the b axis ranged from 12-35 times the corresponding room-temperature value. The temperature dependence of the intrinsic conductivity (after residual resistivities were excluded) was the same for all crystals measured and was fitted by a T2.33±0.14 dependence for 60<~T<~300 K.
