✦ Synopsis

Conductance measurements on well-charactensed crystals of TTF-TCNQ indicate that in highly perfect crystals the maxrmum conductance IS low (o(T)/o(RT) 2: 3). Introduction of imperfections leads to 3-to lo-fold increases. The dommant form of lmperfectlon which causes these changes would appear to be varlatlons m lattice penodrclty marufested as varmtions m stram and mosaic spread
