绝缘体表面长DNA相干输运的栅压控制

The Gate Voltage Control of Long DNA Coherent Transport on Insulator Surface

Zhi-Jie Qin, Le Wang, Gui-Ping Zhang

摘要:

研究了垂直于基底表面的均匀电场作用下DNA链的相干输运性质。在模拟电荷通过DNA传输的有效紧束缚模型的基础上,采用传输矩阵法数值计算了传输系数、李雅普诺夫指数和局域化长度.研究发现,当链与衬底之间的相互作用强度与位置有关而与碱基对序列无关时,在一定的栅压下,在费米能级处可能出现孤立的扩展态,导致栅压诱导的金属-绝缘体转变(MIT).此外,还计算了电导和电流-电压特性。讨论了李雅普诺夫指数分布与电流-电压特性的关系。分别根据有效离域状态和隔离扩展状态提出了两种不同的传导机制。这些结果可能为旨在通过基于DNA的纳米器件控制电荷传输的实验工作提供前景。

英文摘要:

We investigate the coherent transport properties of a DNA chain on a substrate which is subjected to a uniform electric field perpendicular to the surface. On the basis of the effective tight-binding model which simulates charge transport through DNA, the transmission coefficient, Lyapunov exponent, and localization length are numerically calculated by using the transfer-matrix method. It is found that an isolated extended state may appear at the Fermi level for a certain gate voltage when the interaction strength between the chain and the substrate is position dependent but independent of the base-pair sequence, leading to the gate voltage induced Metal-insulator transition (MIT). Moreover, conductance and current-voltage characteristics are also calculated. The relationship of Lyapunov exponent distribution to the current-voltage characteristics is discussed. Two different conduction mechanisms are proposed depending on effectively delocalized states and isolated extended states, respectively. These results may provide perspectives for experimental work aimed at controlling charge transport through DNA-based nanodevices.
