Generally, organic conductors has disorder structures so charge transfers from one place with high conductivity to another place with high conductivity. In such occasions, Coulomb blockade of charge transport takes place. It was thought Coulomb blockade took place in low dimensional aggregates of inorganic particulates only at very low temps.

Osaka Uni researchers succeeded in showing experimental evidence to prove Coulomb blockade taking place on 2D organic conducting polymer films...
