Organic solids exhibit a wide range of electrical and related
properties. They occur as crystals, glasses, polymers and thin films;
they may be insulators, semiconductors, conductors or superconductors;
and they may show luminescence, nonlinear optical response, and complex
dynamical behaviour. The book provides a broad survey of this area,
written by international experts, one third being drawn from Eastern
Europe. Electrical, optical, spectroscopic and structural aspects are
all treated in a way that gives an excellent introduction to current
themes in this highly interdisciplinary and practically important area.
The coverage is especially strong in the areas where electrical and
optical properties overlap, such as photoconductivity,
electroluminescence, electroabsorption, electro-optics and
photorefraction.
