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 …

Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) has been established as an efficient medium for charge
migration, bringing it to the forefront of the field of molecular electronics and biological …

In this work, we present a new family of Zone Plates (ZPs) designed using the self-
generating Kolakoski sequence. The focusing and imaging properties of these aperiodic …

Hole transfer along the axis of duplex DNA has been the focus of physical chemistry
research for decades, with implications in diverse fields, from nanotechnology to cell …

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

We show quantum systems with disordered Hamiltonians may exhibit order in commonly
measured quantities. This counter-intuitive situation is demonstrated using a conventional …

We study the energy structure and the coherent transfer of an extra electron or hole along
aperiodic polymers made of N monomers, with fixed boundaries, using B-DNA as our …

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

To describe the molecular electronic structure of nucleic acid bases and other heterocycles,
we employ the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) method, considering the …
