35. 1 has been expressed and experimentally proved being proportional to exp(Δ/kT) [J. Nelson, Phys. Rev. B 67 (2003) 155209]. Therefore, though the Eq. (2) was first proposed for sexithiophene [P.A. Lane et al., Synth. Met. 76 (1996) 57], we conclude it is valid for polymers as well. The experimental results and nice fitting shown in this work support the conclusion.
