Radiation Modulated Spin coupling in DNA
Alexander López, Solmar Varela, Ernesto Medina
The spin activity in macromolecules such as DNA and oligopeptides, in the context of the Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) has been proposed to be due to the atomic Spin-Orbit…
Response to Comment on: Tunneling in DNA with Spin Orbit coupling
Solmar Varela, Iskra Zambrano, Bertrand Berche +2
The comment by O. Entin-Wohlman, A. Aharony, and Y. Utsumi, on our paper S. Varela, I. Zambrano, B. Berche, V. Mujica, and E. Medina, Phys. Rev. B 101, 241410(R) (2020) makes a few…
Mechanically modulated spin orbit couplings in oligopeptides
Juan Daniel Torres, Raul Hidalgo, Solmar Varela +1
Recently experiments have shown very significant spin activity in biological molecules such as DNA, proteins, oligopeptides and aminoacids. Such molecules have in common their chir…
Spin-orbit interaction and spin selectivity for tunneling electron transfer in DNA
Solmar Varela, Iskra Zambrano, Bertrand Berche +2
Electron transfer (ET) in biological molecules such as peptides and proteins consists of electrons moving between well defined localized states (donors to acceptors) through a tunn…
Intrinsic Rashba coupling due to Hydrogen bonding in DNA
S. Varela, B. Montañes, F. López +4
We present an analytical model for the role of hydrogen bonding on the spin-orbit coupling of model DNA molecule. Here we analyze in detail the electric fields due to the polarizat…
DNA mechanical deformations and chiral spin selectivity
Solmar Varela, Vladimiro Mujica, Ernesto Medina
The strength of the spin-orbit interaction relevant to transport in a low dimensional structure depends critically on the relative geometrical arrangement of current carrying orbit…
