Abstract:
The structures and electrical properties of ((n)Bu(4)N)[Ni(dmstfdt)(2)] (1), ((n)Bu(4)N)(2)[Ni(dmstfdt)(2)] (2), and ((n)Bu(4)N)(3)[Ni(dmstfdt)(2)](2) (3), where dmstfdt = extended-tetrathiafulvalenedithiolate ligand, were examined. The fresh crystal of 1 was found to be a Mott insulator, but the crystal gradually became highly conducting because of air oxidation. Compound 3 exhibited a semiconducting charge-ordering state.

Carrier Generation and Recombination
This process is given by the generation rate G and is efficient due to the conservation of momentum between the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum.

Electron Carriers
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...
