Abstract
Mechanisms of a fast energetic excitation in a nano-device with an embedded molecular film are discussed herein. Excited intermolecular transport of protons, electrons and other quantum carriers could create communication channels inside a molecular network. We suggest that such channels could be analyzed by means of electron capture dissociation reactions of a protonated peptide, protein or a DNA to reveal the intramolecular pathways of mobile carrier motion in an isolated dehydrated molecule. In general, initial processing stage in a nano-device with a molecular film consists of a target direct activation followed by energy transport from target excitations into a surface molecular film which produces an indirect activation. We analyzed selected indirect molecular excitations produced by a metal or a semiconductor target directly activated by means of a radiofrequency electromagnetic field. Further processing stage after the activation consists of molecular relaxation and transportation phenomena providing nano-electromagnetic field, molecular flow, and communication.
