Temperature dependence of the transient photoconductive response in stretched trans-polyacetylene films with below-gap excitationThe temperature dependence of the picosecond photocurrent with below-gap excitation (1.06 microns) has been measured for a highly oriented form of transpolyacetylene. The one-dimensional picosecond photocurrent is independent of temperature. The three-dimensional picosecond photocurrent is temperature dependent with an activation energy of 63 meV. These results demonstrate the photoproduction of nonlinear charged carriers (solitons and polarons) at energies that are below the principal interband absorption edge.
