Electromagnetic and acoustic waves in layered organic conductors (a review)

Abstract

The review is devoted to theoretical investigations of propagation of electromagnetic and acoustic waves in layered conductors of organic origin. Attention is focussed on spectroscopic possibilities for studying the electron structure of organic quasi-two-dimensional conductors, which is of great importance for understanding physical processes in these materials. High-frequency and magnetoacoustic effects considered in this review are typical of quasi-two-dimensional conductors and quite informative. The analysis of these effects makes it possible to study in detail the electron energy spectrum and relaxation properties of charge carriers in layered conductors.

Thermoelectric mechanism of electromagnetic-acoustic transformation in organic conductors

“…In ref. [12], a detailed theoretical report is given on the propagation of electromagnetic and acoustic oscillations in organic Q2D conductors. As far as we are aware, there are no experimental results on acoustoelectronic phenomena in Q2D conductors yet.…”
