DC and radio-frequency transport characteristics of lambda deoxyribonucleic acid molecules

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is an interesting molecular material which can be used in nano- and bioelectronic device applications. In the aspect of electrical applications, DNA is used as a template of nanowire fabrication and self-assembled network structures. For the biological applications, the hybridization properties of DNA are utilized in bio-sensors or recognition systems. There are a few studies in the electronics properties of DNA molecules. All the previous studies have been limited to DC transport and studies on high frequency behavior of DNA molecules are very rare. In this paper, we report on both DC and radio-frequency (RF) transport characteristics of lambda DNA molecules. In this paper, we report on both DC and radio-frequency (RF) transport characteristics of lambda DNA molecules.
