Popis: Solid samples of phthalocyaninato-polysiloxanes (PcPS) have been analyzed by electrical dark conductivity experiments and by pulse-radiolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity (PR-TRMC) measurements. The in-plane conductivity of anisotropic PcPS Langmuir−Blodgett assemblies on gold surface-comb electrodes reveals an ohmic dependence at low voltages followed by a space-charge-limited current regime at higher electric fields. The conductivity displays a close to Arrhenius-type temperature dependence, with activation energies of 0.33−0.36 eV. The analysis of the space-charge limited currents (SCLC) experiments yields charge carrier mobilities of approximately 10-7−10-6 cm2/V-1 s-1 at room temperature. The conductivity perpendicular to the polymer chains was investigated by performing dielectric experiments on sandwich devices. These measurements reveal conductivities which are lower by several orders of magnitude than the corresponding in-plane values but the activation energy agrees quite well with that ...
