The coherent electronic transport of a nanosystem “Nb – DNA – Nb” was investigated, within the semi-empirical Hückel’s method. The calculation was implemented in the Atomistix ToolKit with Virtual NanoLab. The transmission spectrum, the current-voltage characteristic, and the differential conductivity of the nanosystem were calculated. It is shown that in the range of the bias voltage Vbias = – 0.8 ÷ 0.8 V, the fragment of the DNA molecule behaves like a dielectric and through it does not flow electric current, while a volt-ampere characteristic of the nanocontact forms a voltage discontinuity with a width of 1.6 V. In the field of contacting the nucleus of the nanosystem (DNA fragment) with niobium, quasi-particle transport is restricted through nanocontacts, similar to the Coulomb blockade, but this effect makes a minor contribution to the electric transport of the nanosystem. The obtained results can be useful for calculations of promising elements of organic nanoelectronics. |
