✦ Synopsis

The effect of an esternal electric field on quantum tunneling in DNA was examined.

Zero field potentials for mrious extensions of the C-C bnsc were fL'st calculated.

The change in each of these potentials for three different electric fields was then obtained.

To find out if quantum tunneling would be increased with incrensinE electric field the 3.50 A extension was sclcctcd and energy levels and tunneling times were calculated for it. Upon comparing the tunneling times at the fist tunnrling lcvcls for the rhrec fields it was found that an increasing electric field did increase the tunneling mte.

Data are presented on experimental studies of the influence of an external electric field on crystallization of a germanium melt under the layer of a B,O, flux. It has been found out that with the field supercoolings of the melt sharply change. This effect is due to the change of the number of activ

## Abstract The relaxation of the birefringence of native DNA in solution was investigated in a pulsed sine‐wave electric field. Relaxation times were calculated from the degree of damping of the birefringence signal and were studied as a function of the strength and frequency of the applied field,
