Abstract
The absoulte spin susceptibility of As${\mathrm{F}}_{5}$-doped trans-polyacetylene, ${[\mathrm{CH}{(\mathrm{As}{\mathrm{F}}_{5})}_{y}]}_{x}$, was determined by spin resonance techniques for $0.0004<~y<~0.138$. The Curie-law contribution decreases above $y=0.001$ to a level less than 1 ppm in the highly conducting regime. The temperature-independent Pauli term is small (\ensuremath{\le}5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}8}$ emu/mole) for $y<0.01$, remains small up to $y=0.05$, and shows an abrupt increase near $y=0.07$ to a value of \ensuremath{\sim} 3 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ emu/mole at higher concentrations. The results are consistent with the soliton doping mechanism.
