Phonon Emission and Absorption by Holes in the HOMO Bands of Duplex DNA

Abstract

This paper focuses on the role of phonon absorption and emission in hole transport in duplex DNA. In these phonon emission and absorption calculations, carrier-phonon optical-deformation potential interactions in a quantum wire are modeled for hole-phonon interactions in duplex DNA.
