Research on polyaniline doped with K3[Fe(CN)6] has revealed an effect which is manifested in an unusual temperature-induced change in the ESR spectrum of the Fe3+ ion. At low temperature (T=4.2 K) one observes the first resonance line (g1=4.22±0.03), and at high temperature (T=295 K) the second line (g2=2.13±0.05). The transition from the low-to the high-temperature spectrum occurs gradually and is accompanied by a redistribution of the absorption intensity. The observed properties of the temperature dependence of the ESR spectrum are typical of systems with a multiple-minimum potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
