“…The FITC can successfully explain the nonmetallic temperature dependence of conductivity in diverse materials such as carbonpolyvinylchloride films, tin-doped indium oxide ͑ITO͒ thin films, carbon nanotube ͑CNT͒ bundles, and conducting polymers. [2][3][4][5] These materials share the common trait that, other than the nonmetallic temperature variation in the conductivity, other properties, e.g., optical characteristics, all exhibit metallic behavior.…”
