摘要
We have measured the electric properties of a three-terminal single molecule DNA device with a triple-probe atomic force microscope (T-AFM). The T-AFM permits us to connect a single DNA molecule with carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes as source, drain, and gate terminals. As the gate bias voltage is increased, the voltage gap region decreased in the current-voltage (I-V) curves. Furthermore, we can observe the clear steps in the I-V curve at crossing the DNA molecule and the CNT-gate electrode with gate biased. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
