In this paper, we present a theoretical investigation of an all-electronic biochip based on graphene to detect DNA including a full dynamical treatment for the environment. Our proposed device design is based on the changes in the electronic transport properties of graphene interacting with DNA strands under the effect of the solvent. To investigate these systems, we applied a hybrid methodology, combining quantum and classical mechanics (QM/MM) coupled to non-equilibrium Green’s functions, allowing for the calculations of electronic transport. Our results show that the proposed device has high sensitivity towards the presence of DNA, and, combined with the presence of a specific DNA probe in the form of a single-strand, it presents good selectivity towards specific nucleotide sequences.

AbstractThe effect of zinc and oxygen vacancy defects on the electronic transport properties of Ag(100)–ZnO(100)–Pt(100) sandwich structures is studied using density functional theory in combination with the nonequilibrium Green’s functional formalism. Defect-free systems show clear current rectification due to voltage dependent charge localization in the system as revealed in our transmission eigenstates analysis. Regardless of the location, oxygen vacancies result in enhanced current in the system, whereas Zn vacancy defects reduce the charge transport across the junction. The current rectification becomes less pronounced in the presence of both types of vacancy defects. Our findings can be of practical importance for developing metal-insulator-metal diodes.
