Abstract
Infrared absorption and reflection spectra of the organic semiconducto r TEA(TCNQ)(2) nominally pure and damaged by electron irradiation and mechanical treatment are investigated. It is stated that in the salt d amaged by mechanical treatment TEA(TCNQ)(2) units are destroyed but no t the individual TCNQ molecules. As opposed to that, the radiation-dam aged salt undergoes partial decomposition of the TCNQ molecules. This means that the mechanical and radiational damages of the TEA(TCNQ)(2) salt are dissimilar from one another.
