Tunable thermal switching via DNA-based nano-devices

Creator:

Chien, Chih-Chun, Velizhanin, Kirill A., Dubi, Yonatan, and Zwolak, Michael

Abstract:

DNA has a well-defined structural transition-the denaturation of its double-stranded form into two single strands-that strongly affects its thermal transport properties. We show that, according to a widely implemented model for DNA denaturation, one can engineer DNA 'heattronic' devices that have a rapidly increasing thermal conductance over a narrow temperature...

Crossover behavior of the thermal conductance and Kramers' transition rate theory

Creator:

Velizhanin, Kirill A., Sahu, Subin, Chien, Chih-Chun, Dubi, Yonatan, and Zwolak, Michael

Abstract:

Kramers’ theory frames chemical reaction rates in solution as reactants overcoming a barrier in the presence of friction and noise. For weak coupling to the solution, the reaction rate is limited by the rate at which the solution can restore equilibrium after a subset of reactants have surmounted the barrier...
