Abstract

Nanosecond pulsed photoconductivity experiments in as-grown trans-polyacetylene at room temperature are reported. From the decay of the photoresponse the free drift time of photogenerated carriers is found to be τfd<10-9sec. From the amount of collected charge the upper limit of τfd is reduced to picoseconds so that the relaxation of electrons and holes into mobile solitons and anti-solitons is questionable.
