Abstract:
The diffusive motion of the conducting electrons in the one-dimensional organic conductor FA2PF6 (FA, Fluoranthene) is studied with the ESR pulse-gradient spin-echo (PGSE) signal combined with spatial density ESR imaging. A local measurement of the short restricted regions reveals diffraction patterns in the local PGSE data. A model calculation adapted to the local measurements provides a highly accurate quantitative description of the results. The appearance of these patterns provides information about the diffusive motion of the charge at the crystal boundaries.

Theory of Metallic Conduction
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
