In the past few decades, charge transfer in DNA has attracted considerable attention from researchers in a wide variety of fields ranging from bioscience and physical chemistry to nanotechnology. Charge transfer in DNA has been investigated using various techniques. Among them, time-resolved spectroscopic methods have provided information on chargetransfer dynamics in DNA, an important basis fo...

To benefit from the reduction of the devices’ feature sizes new circuit concepts can be introduced. These new circuits will require new devices, such as singleelectronic devices. Single-electronics devices are capable of controlling the transport of only one electron. In this manner, the charge transfer through the device is quantized. However, single-electronics is still a highly experimental ...

Cosensitization of broadly absorbing ruthenium metal complex dyes with highly absorptive near-infrared (NIR) organic dyes is a clear pathway to increase near-infrared light harvesting in liquid-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). In cosensitized DSCs, dyes are intimately mixed, and intermolecular charge and energy transfer processes play an important role in device performance. Here, we de...

A theoretical analysis of the circuits for a nitrogen laser driven by the Blumlein or capacitor charge transfer transmission line is given in detail. The electrical characteristics of the charge line for a special case of resonant charging are discussed and the effects of various parameters on voltage and current are investigated. By using MICRO-CAP software the transient behavior of the curren...

The precessing magnetization of a magnetic islands coupled to a quantum spin Hall edge pumps charge along the edge. Conversely, a bias voltage applied to the edge makes the magnetization precess. We point out that this device realizes an adiabatic quantum motor and discuss the efficiency of its operation based on a scattering matrix approach akin to Landauer-Büttiker theory. Scattering theory p...

In this work, by using density functional theory, the adsorption of Nitramide (NH2NO2) molecule on the surface of pristine, B, As and B&As doped (4,4) armchair aluminum nitride nanotube (AlNNTs) is investigated. From optimized structures the adsorption energy, deformation energy, natural bond orbital (NBO), atom in molecule (AIM), quantum parameters, reduced density gradient (RDG) and molecular...

Measuring humidity in dynamic situations calls for highly sensitive fast response sensors. Here we report, a humidity sensor fabricated using solution processed supramolecular nanofibres as active resistive sensing material. The nanofibres are built via self- assembly of donor and acceptor molecules (coronene tetracarboxylate and dodecyl methyl viologen respectively) involved in charge transfer...
