Abstract
Heat shuttling properties of DNA nano-wire driven by an external force against the spontaneous heat current direction in non-zero temperature bias (non averaged) have been studied. We examined the valid region of driving amplitude and frequency to have pumping state in terms of temperature bias and the system size. It was shown that DNA could act as a high efficiency thermal pump in the hypersonic region. Amplitude-dependent resonance frequencies of DNA indicating intrinsic base pair internal vibrations have been detected. Nonlinearity implies that by increasing the driven amplitude new vibration modes are detected. To verify the results, an analytical parallel investigation based on multifractal concept has been done. By using the geometric properties of the strange attractor of the system, the threshold value to transition to the pumping state for given external amplitude has been identified. It was shown that the system undergoes a phase transition in sliding point to the pumping state. Fractal dimension demonstrates that the ballistic transport is responsible for energy pumping in the system. In the forbidden band gap, DNA could transmit the energy by exceeding the threshold amplitude. Despite of success in energy pumping, in this framework, DNA could not act as a real cooler.
