Show Abstract
In this study, the hole mobility of DNA biopolymer is examined by time-of-flight measurement. DNA biopolymer film is characterized under different electric fields and temperatures. The hole mobility exhibits a negative field dependence at lower fields above 273 K and is found to be positively correlated with temperature. Analysis of the experimental results is carried out and the carrier transport mechanisms in DNA biopolymer based on the experimental results are proposed and discussed.

Show Abstract
Significant modifications have been made in the processing techniques developed to transform purified, marine-based deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into a biopolymer suitable for optical and electronic device fabrication. This technique employs a modified soxhlet-dialysis rinsing process to completely remove excess ionic contaminants from the DNA biopolymer, resulting in a material with greater mechanical stability and enhanced performance reproducibility.

Show Abstract
Large unilamellar vesicles were prepared for adsorption on quartz crystal surfaces coated with gold, mercaptoundecanoic acid, or octadecanethiol self-assembled monolayers. The adsorption of the vesicles onto these surfaces decreases the resonance frequency of the quartz crystals. We found that frequency changes due to vesicle adsorption were much lower in degassed than in air-rich water. Further, the vesicles adsorbed in air-rich water desorbed when the medium was replaced with degassed water, indicating that the presence of dissolved air in water played a key role in the adsorption and stability of vesicles.
