Abstract
Assuming the quantum mechanical "tight binding" of an electron to a nonlinear lattice with Morse potential interactions we show how electric conduction can be mediated by solitons. For relatively high values of an applied electric field the current follows Ohm's law. As the field strength is lowered the current takes a finite, constant, field-independent value.
