Low-temperature specific heat spectra considering nonextensive long-range correlated quasiperiodic DNA molecules

We consider the low-temperature specific heat spectra of long-range correlated quasiperiodic DNA molecules using a q-gaussian distribution, and compare them with those considering the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution. The energy spectra are calculated using the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation in a tight-binding approximation with the on-site energy exhibiting long-range disorder and non-random hopping amplitudes. We focus our attention at the low temperature region, where the specific heat spectra presents a logarithmic-periodic oscillations as a function of the temperature T around a mean value given by a characteristic dimension of the energy spectrum.
