This review is devoted to tight-binding (TB) modeling of nucleic acid sequences like DNA
and RNA. It addresses how various types of order (periodic, quasiperiodic, fractal) or …

This book provides an interdisciplinary guide to quasicrystals, the 2011 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry winning topic, by presenting an up-to-date and detailed introduction to the many …

The Hartman effect refers to the rather paradoxical result that the time spent by a quantum
mechanical particle or a photon to tunnel through an opaque potential barrier becomes …

We study periodic, quasiperiodic (Thue-Morse, Fibonacci, period doubling, Rudin-Shapiro),
fractal (Cantor, generalized Cantor), Kolakoski, and random binary sequences using a tight …

As a secondary structure of DNA, DNA tetrahedra exhibit intriguing charge-transport
phenomena and provide a promising platform for wide applications like biosensors, as …

The electronic transmission of fifteen potential configurations of the single-phenanthrene
junction has been theoretically investigated. The structures include para–para, para–meta …

The charge and spin-dependent thermoelectric responses are investigated on a single-
stranded helical system possessing a collinear antiferromagnetic spin arrangement with …

DNA sequences of ideal and natural geometries are examined, studying their charge
transport properties as mutation detectors. Ideal means textbook geometry. Natural means …

We study the energy structure and the transfer of an extra electron or hole along periodic
polymers made of N monomers, with a repetition unit made of P monomers, using a tight …

The electronic properties of finite and infinite polyynic carbyne chains have been
investigated using the tight-binding Hamiltonian of the Harrison's model and the Green's …
