Abstract
In this paper, gold-DNA-gold nanoparticle (GNP) complexes were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). I-V characteristics were collected from distinct positions of gold nanoparticle clusters and qualitatively explained by a tip- surface configuration model. Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) of poly(dT)-poly(dA) was found to be slightly n-type semiconductor by theoretical simulation of the S-shaped I-V curves employing the Landauer formalism.
