Effect of gas flow on electronic transport in a DNA-decorated carbon   nanotube
  We calculate the two-time current correlation function using the experimental data of the current-time characteristics of the Gas-DNA-decorated carbon nanotube field effect transistor. The pattern of the correlation function is a measure of the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensors and suggest that these gas flow sensors may also be used as DNA sequence detectors. The system is modelled by a one-dimensional tight-binding Hamiltonian and we present analytical calculations of quantum electronic transport for the system using the time-dependent nonequilibrium Green's function formalism and the adiabatic expansion. The zeroth and first order contributions to the current $I^{(0)}(\bar{t})$ and $I^{(1)}(\bar{t})$ are calculated, where $I^{(0)} (\bar{t})$ is the Landauer formula. The formula for the time-dependent current is then used to compare the theoretical results with the experiment.
