Popis: | Heat capacity measurements in the temperature range of 0.6 to 12 K have been conducted on doped polypyrrole films. At low temperature, a finite electronic contribution gamma prevails in all samples. The value of gamma for hexafluorophosphate doped polypyrrole PPy(PF6) is 6.31 mJ x K(-2) x mol(-1), but is 2.2 mJ x K(-2) x mol(-1) for p-toluene sulfonate doped polypyrrole PPy(TsO). With use of the free electron model, the corresponding densities of states at the Fermi level N(E(F)) are calculated and compared with those obtained from spin susceptibility data. |
