Abstract

A review is given about the current activities in the field of the “synthetic metals”. This nomenclature is used for materials which consist basically of non-metallic components, but reach metallic conductivities by doping or intercalation reactions with additional components acting as donors or acceptors. Typical examples are conducting polymers like doped polyacetylene or graphite intercalation compounds. The contributions of Mössbauer studies in understanding the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of such systems are outlined. Comparison with other spectroscopic methods is given in selected cases.
