    Abstract

    With the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model involving the effects of solvent polarization and external electric field, we show that a bipolaron maybe more stable than two polarons when a dication is induced into a DNA stack. Under the high electric field, the dication can move quite a long distance through the DNA by a series of hopping process, partially losing its configuration instantaneously due to the nonadiabatic effects. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
