Abstract

Electron transport in a two-dimensional boundary layer between two films of an organic polymer has been studied. It is established that the electric conductivity of such layers is several orders of magnitude higher than the surface conductivity of individual polymer films involved in the experimental bilayer structure. Measurements of the temperature dependence of the conductivity showed that the transfer of charge carriers along the boundary layer can be described in terms of a model based on the thermoelectron emission and hopping transport over trap levels.
