摘要

Metallic charge transport of field-induced carriers can be observed in single-crystal silicon over a wide temperature range. Such behaviour is rare in undoped organic semiconductors but is beneficial for engineering devices with advanced performance. Here we report metallic charge transport in conjugated molecular bilayers down to 8 K with an electrical conductivity of up to 245 S cm−1 and a Hall mobility larger than 100 cm2 V−1 s−1 at 20 K. We use molecular-crystal bilayers of the organic semiconductor 2-decyl-7-phenyl-[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene. We infer that this transport behaviour originates from the phenyl bridge coupling between the two molecular layers, which suppresses molecular vibrations and weakens Coulomb interactions. We develop a controlled method for introducing defects, using which we observe a disorder-driven metal–insulator transition in the molecular crystal.
