摘要: Semiconductor devices have been made from polyacetylene, a conjugated polymeric semiconductor. The device operates in novel way: charge is stored localized soliton-like excitations of the polymer chain, which are introduced not by doping or photoexcitation but presence surface electric field. formation charged solitons changes optical properties polymer, introducing absorption below band gap. Combined with processibility these new electro-optic effects may be exploited technologically modulators.
