Abstract

We have made electrical measurements on a system using carbon nanotubes as the dopant material. A semiconjugated, organic polymer was mixed with carbon nanotubes to form a wholly organic composite. Composite formation from low to high nanotube concentration increases the conductivity dramatically by ten orders of magnitude, indicative of percolative behavior. Effective mobilities were calculated from the space-charge regions of the current-voltage characteristics for the 0--8 % mass fractions. After an initial rise these were seen to fall from 1--8 % doping levels as predicted by theory. From the values for conductivity and mobility, an effective carrier density was calculated. This was seen to decrease between 0% and 1%, before rising steadily.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
