Abstract
A reproducible current switching effect has been observed in various mixed-stack organic charge transfer crystals whose ionicities are close to the neutral-ionic phase boundary. This effect appears to be related to the intrinsic nonlinear conductivity, which has recently been reported in these crystals. This switching has a reasonably large delay time and our results indicate that it is a bulk property of the crystals. Discussion is given on the possible mechanism of this effect.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
