متن کاملCharge transfer between a superconductor and a hopping insulator.
We develop a theory of the low-temperature charge transfer between a superconductor and a hopping insulator. We show that the charge transfer is governed by the coherent two-electron-Cooper pair conversion process time-reversal reflection, where electrons tunnel into a superconductor from the localized states in the hopping insulator located near the interface, and calculate the corresponding i...
متن کاملLong - distance charge transport through DNA . An extended hopping model *
Long-distance transfer of a positive charge through DNA can be described by a hopping model. In double strands where the (A:T)n bridges between the guanines are short (n ≥ 3), the charge hops only between guanines, and each hopping step depends strongly upon the guanine to guanine distances. In strands where the (A:T)n sequences between the guanines are rather long (n ≥ 4), also the adenines ac...
متن کاملDNA charge transport: conformationally gated hopping through stacked domains.
The role of base motions in delocalization and propagation of charge through double helical DNA must be established experimentally and incorporated into mechanistic descriptions of DNA-mediated charge transport (CT). Here, we address these fundamental issues by examining the temperature dependence of the yield of CT between photoexcited 2-aminopurine (Ap) and G through DNA bridges of varied len...
متن کاملInsulator interface effects in sputter . . deposited NbN / MgO / NbN ( superconductor - insulator - superconductor } tunnel junctions
All refractory, NbN/MgO/NbN (superconductor-insulator-superconductor) tunnel junctions have been fabricated by in situ sputter deposition. The influence ofMgO thickness (0.8-6.0 nm) deposited under different sputtering ambients at various deposition rates on current-voltage (IV) characteristics of small-area ( 30 X 30 pm) tunnel junctions is studied. The NbN/MgO/NbN trilayer is deposited in sit...
