Abstract
The crystalline network structure of conducting (ET)
2I
3 reticulate doped polycarbonate (RDP) films were analysed by X-ray as well as ESR, transport properties and superconducting
characteristics of the films were investigated. It was found that under certain conditions of the second step of the RDP-film
preparation, an oriented
-(ET)
2I
3 crystalline network is formed. The
c-axis of the linked
-(ET)
2I
3 crystallites are perpendicular to the film surface and consequently their conducting layers are parallel to this surface.
Moreover, this type of crystalline network orientation is kept during the
(ET)
2I
3 transition which takes place under film annealing. Thus, the conducting layers of the linked superconducting
(ET)
2I
3 crystals are also parallel to the film surface. It was demonstrated that superconducting properties are present in all parts
of the
(ET)
2I
3 RDP film.
