The interplay between inter- and intrachain charge transport in bulk polyth
iophene in the hopping regime has been clarified by studying the conductivi
ty sigma as a function of frequency w/2 pi (up to 3 THz), temperature T, an
d doping level c. We present a model which quantitatively explains the obse
rved crossover from quasi-one-dimensional transport to three-dimensional ho
pping conduction with increasing doping level. At high frequencies the cond
uctivity is dominated by charge transport on one-dimensional conducting cha
ins.
