Abstract

In recent years, physical properties of charge-tran sfer (CT) crystals have been extensively investigated. The CT complex of α -naphthol and p-chloranil was grown by solution gro wth and microwave techniques and its electrical properties were measured. This CT complex behaves as semiconductors at room temperature. The stoichiomet ric ratio of donor and acceptor in the CT complex was found to be 1: 1.
