Polaron Hopping in Nano-scale Poly(dA)–Poly(dT) DNA
<p>Abstract</p> <p>We investigate the current–voltage relationship and the temperature-dependent conductance of nano-scale samples of poly(dA)–poly(dT) DNA molecules. A polaron hopping model has been used to calculate the I–V characteristic of nano-sca...
