Charge transfer in a metal-polymer-nanocrystalline metal system

Abstract

The electrical conductivity in a metal-polymer-nanocrystalline metal system has been investigated as a function of temperature. It is found that this system undergoes a transition to the high-conductivity state at temperatures of structural transformations in nanocrystalline electrodes. The results are interpreted within the model of charge instability that arises in thin polymer films under changes of the boundary conditions.
