Sensitive DNA detection based on the capacitance properties of graphene

Abstract: In the present paper, a new method is proposed to distinguish the DNA nucleotides based on a first-principles calculation of the electronic features of DNA bases which are chemisorbed to a graphene sheet placed between two gold electrodes in a contact-channel-contact system. The capacitance properties of graphene in the channel are simulated and analyzed using non-equilibrium Green's functions combined with density functional theory. Thus, the capacitance properties of graphene are theoretically deciphered in … Show more

“…Thanks to graphene's single‐atomic thickness, of the order of the distance between two consecutive bases in DNA, it is possible to detect nucleobases by transverse conductance measurements . Experimental progress in the realization of graphene based nanogaps or nanoelectrodes with fine spatial resolution,, and several reports in the literature suggest graphene nanogap electrodes as a good platform for DNA sensing ,,. In this regard, the concept of electron tunneling can be used as a readout mechanism to record information for characterizing the molecules …”
