| We have found a novel organic semiconductor, BTQBT, with a high electrical conductivity of about 10-3 S cm-1 and a high Hall mobility of about 3 cm2 V-1s-1 at room temperature. We have also succeeded in measuring the temperature dependence of the Hall mobility. It varies with temperature as Τ-1.6, which agrees with the theoretical Τ-1.5 dependence for the mobility determined by lattice scattering. The characteristic transport property of BTQBT results from strong intermolecular interactions in the crystal, which is convinced by the energy dispersion with a bandwidth of about 0.5 eV from the theoretical and experimental band structures. |
