Abstract
The magnetic properties of poly(3-dodecyl-thiophene) (PDDT) irradiated by gamma-beams have been studied by measuring the magnetic susceptibi lity and EPR spectra. The irradiated PDDT is characterized, similarly as the non-irradiated one, by an antiferromagnetic course of magnetic susceptibility with a Neel temperature of 237 K. It is suggested that the antiferromagnetic properties of PDDT are caused by transformation of polarons to bipolarons, which takes place at lower temperatures.
