Abstract
Dark conduction in radio frequency plasma polymerized Furan thin film is reported. A contact limited Schottky mechanism is found to predominate. A comparison of the value from different experimental studies and the value from theoretical studies confirm the Schottky type mechanism in Furan thin film.
