Abstract
The temperature (), frequency (), and electric field () dependent conductivity () of iodine-doped polyacetylene is reported for the concentration regime which encompasses the metal-insulator transition. No dependence was observed for MHz. The resistance varied logarithmically with , while and were observed. This is inconsistent with simple models of metallic regions separated by large barriers and suggests that the known strong disorder plays a dominant role.
