Electrical conductivity, optical, thermoelectric, and dielectrical properties o
f the poly(1,12-bis(carbazolyl)dodecane)
film have been investigated. The activation energy
for electrical conductivity and room-temperatureelectrical conductivity (at 25
f">C) values were
found to be 0.25 eV and 2.65 × 10
-6 S/cm, respectively. Thethermoelectric power results suggest that the conductivity is due to large polarons (i.e., the carriers in polymermove by hopping in the localized states at band gap edges). Electrical conductivity and thermoelectric powerresults con
firm that the polymer is a p-type organic semiconductor. Optical absorption results suggest thatthe direct allowed transitions are dominant in the
fundamental absorption edge in the polymer with opticalband gap value o
f 2.72 eV. The re
fractive index dispersion o
f the polymer obeys the single oscillator modelwith oscillator energy (
Eo = 3.06 eV) and dispersion energy (
Ed = 17.82 eV) values. Alternating currentconductivity results suggest that the hopping conductivity is dominant in the polymer. The dielectrical propertiesexhibit a non-Debye relaxation.
