Localization Properties of Electronic States in Polaron Model of poly(dG)-poly(dC) and poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA polymers

We numerically investigate localization properties of electronic states in a static model of poly(dG)-poly(dC) and poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA polymers with realistic parameters obtained by quantum-chemical calculation. The randomness in the on-site energies caused by the electron-phonon coupling are completely correlated to the off-diagonal parts. In the single electron model, the effect of the hydrogen-bond stretchings, the twist angles between the base pairs and the finite system size effects on the energy dependence of the localization length and on the Lyapunov exponent are given. The localization length is reduced by the influence of the fluctuations in the hydrogen bond stretchings. It is also shown that the helical twist angle affects the localization length in the poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA polymer more strongly than in the poly(dA)-poly(dT) one. Furthermore, we show resonance structures in the energy dependence of the localization length when the system size is relatively small.

Exactly solvable scale-free network model

We study a deterministic scale-free network recently proposed by Barabási, Ravasz and Vicsek. We find that there are two types of nodes: the hub and rim nodes, which form a bipartite structure of the network. We first derive the exact numbers $P(k)$ of nodes with degree $k$ for the hub and rim nodes in each generation of the network, respectively. Using this, we obtain the exact exponents of the distribution function $P(k)$ of nodes with $k$ degree in the asymptotic limit of $k \to \infty$. We show that the degree distribution for the hub nodes exhibits the scale-free nature, $P(k) \propto k^{-γ}$ with $γ= \ln3/\ln2 = 1.584962$, while the degree distribution for the rim nodes is given by $P(k) \propto e^{-γ'k}$ with $γ' = \ln(3/2) = 0.405465$. Second, we numerically as well as analytically calculate the spectra of the adjacency matrix $A$ for representing topology of the network. We also analytically obtain the exact number of degeneracy at each eigenvalue in the network. The density of states (i.e., the distribution function of eigenvalues) exhibits the fractal nature with respect to the degeneracy. Third, we study the mathematical structure of the determinant of the eigenequation for the adjacency matrix. Fourth, we study hidden symmetry, zero modes and its index theorem in the deterministic scale-free network. Finally, we study the nature of the maximum eigenvalue in the spectrum of the deterministic scale-free network. We will prove several theorems for it, using some mathematical theorems. Thus, we show that most of all important quantities in the network theory can be analytically obtained in the deterministic scale-free network model of Barabási, Ravasz and Vicsek. Therefore, we may call this network model the exactly solvable scale-free network.

Electronic Localization Properties of a Double Strand of DNA: A Simple Model with Long-Range Correlated Hopping Disorder

Localization property in the disordered few-chain DNA systems with a long-range correlation is numerically investigated. We apply the chain system with the correlated disorder in the interchain and/or intrachain hoppings to the simple model of a double strand of DNA. Numerical results for the density of states and the Lyapunov exponent of the wave function in the two- or three-chain models are given. It is found that the correlation effect enhances the localization length (the inverse least nonnegative Lyapunov exponent) around the band center.
