Abstract
In this work, we analyze the charge localization in DNA molecules using an effective tight-binding approach that includes the backbone onsite energies. The localization length and participation number are examined as a function of energy dependence. We see that for specific energy ranges, the electronic states spread out into all sites, while in other energy ranges, the probability density is highly concentrated on either the backbone sites or the nucleotide like sites.
