Abstract:
Poly(methyl)methacrylate was made photoconducting by molecular doping and the
photoconductivity was investigated using modulated photocurrent technique . Low-temperature
current-voltage measurements showed that the transport mechanism was thermally activated
hopping. An experimental investigation of the photoconductivity action spectrum along with
theoretical calculation enabled an estimation of the diffusion coefficient of the material. The
presence of states with a distribution of lifetimes could be understood from the frequency response
of the photocurrent . The photocurrent was due to the field-assisted dissociation of these states
