Abstract
This paper describes experiments on the motion of an extra electron (or hole) on perfect straight polymer chains. The mobility is -found to be ultra high, greater than for any conventional semi-conductor, and yet the drift velocity is found to saturate at a low value, close to the velocity of sound. This new form of motion is that expected theoretically for an acoustic polaron in one dimension.Keywords
