摘要: We study the patterns that short strands of single-stranded DNA form on top graphene surface graphite. find assembles into two distinct patterns, small spherical particles and elongated networks. Known interaction models based DNA-graphene binding, hydrophobic interactions, or purine/pyrimidine nature bases do not explain our observed crossover in pattern formation. argue assembly behavior is caused by a competition between base-base pi stacking base-graphene we infer critical energy eV. The experiments therefore provide projective measurement strength.
