1. Research on organic photoconductors peaked in the 1970s and 1980s, and there is a vast literature. The reader is referred to the excellent book by P. M. Borsenberger and D. S. Weiss, Organic Photoreceptors for Electrophotography (Marcel Dekker, New York, 1993).
2. Again the literature is too vast to be cited here. See the review articles: J. R. Sheats, H. Antoniadis, M. Hueschen, W. Leonard, J. Miller, R. Moon, D. Roitman, and A. Stocking, Science 273, 884 (1996)
