Popis: The ac electrical conductivity of the oxalic acid dihydrate ($\ensuremath{\alpha}$-POX) was investigated as a function of the frequency and temperature. The real part of the complex ac electrical conductivity was found to follow the universal dielectric response ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\propto}{\ensuremath{\nu}}^{s}$, indicating that hopping or tunneling of localized charge carriers governs the electrical transport. A detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the exponent $s$ revealed that in a broad temperature range $50\char21{}200\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ the tunneling of polarons is the dominating charge transport mechanism.
