Abstract
A correlated study of the structural, optical, magnetic, and transport properties of polyacetylene, doped with iodine to nearly the metallic doping levels, shows that essentially all charges go into solitonlike states. The measurements are in quantitative agreement with charge transport via variable-range hopping among solitonlike levels.Keywords
