Abstract
The absorption current and the steady-state current in a dc field have been measured in the temperature range from 140°C to 230°C for tsuga (Tsuga sieboldii CARR) of Cellulose I. The voltage-current characteristics at various temperatures follow the sine-hyperbolic law in the hopping model. The hopping distance is constant (2.8×10−6m) at temperatures above about 140°C. The absorption current characteristics are also explained by the hopping model. Drastic increase in the dc conductivity above about 150°C seems mainly due to an increase in the mobility.
