Abstract

Based on a tight-binding model and a generalized Green’s function method in the Landauer−Buttiker formalism, the current-voltage characteristics, the noise power resulting of the spin-dependent current fluctuations and Fano factor of poly(G)-poly(C) DNA molecule sandwiched between ferromagnetic three-dimensional electrodes (FM/DNA/FM) are numerically investigated. It is found when the bias voltage increased, the current and noise power increase and the Fano factor decreases. Our results show the spin-dependent transport properties are significantly influenced by the electrode/molecule coupling strength so that the reinforcement of the electrode/molecule coupling strength give rise to increasing of the current and noise power so that the Fano factor decreased.
