Steady-state theory of current transfer
Abstract
Current transfer is defined as a charge-transfer process where the transferred charge
carries information about its original motion. We have recently suggested that such
transfer causes the asymmetry observed in electron transfer induced by circularly
polarized light through helical wires. This paper presents the steady-state theory
of current transfer within a tight binding model of coupled wires systems. The asymmetry
in the system response to a steady current imposed in a particular direction on one
of the wires is used to define the efficiency of current transfer. © 2010 American

harvesting and charge transport in biology; the mechanism of solar energy capture
and conversion in man-made structures; the nature of charge conductivity in naturally
occurring nucleic acids and in synthetic constructs, including the photochemical repair
