Kara, Nazan
Performing density functional theory calculations with many possible exchange correlational energy functionals, the most stable structures, symmetries, electronic, and magnetic properties of SmMCoN (M + N 3) microclusters have been studied in a systematic and statistical manner. Starting from the atoms of cobalt and samarium, dimers and trimers have been investigated in their ground states. The optimum geometries, binding energies, vibrational properties, possible dissociation channels, local magnetic moments and their enhancements with the growing size of the microclusters under study have been obtained. The calculations have been performed by using 13 DFT methods in the scope of present study.

Mohammad, Rezek; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2015-09-01)
Structural stability and electronic properties of bare and hydrogenated GaP nanowires in zinc-blende and wurtzite phases have been investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. It is determined that relaxation of the hydrogenated GaP nanowires is very small compared to that of their bare ones. The wurtzite structural hydrogenated GaP nanowires are found more stable than the zinc-blende structural ones by cohesive energy calculations. It is obtained that all the bare an...
Structural and Thermal Properties of Indium Phosphide Nanoparticles: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Nayir, Nadire; Tasci, Emre S.; Erkoç, Şakir (2015-09-01)
Structural and thermal properties of Indium Phosphide spherical nanoparticles at various sizes have been investigated via classical molecular dynamics simulations using an atomistic potential energy function. The initial configurations of the nanoparticles were chosen as spheres generated from the zinc blende crystalline structure. To investigate the relation between the size and the heat capacity, the simulations were realized at temperatures in the range of 1-1300 K under both equilibrium and non-equilibr...
Structural and molecular electronic properties of B-N ring doped single-wall carbon nanotubes
Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Erkoc, A (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01)
Various molecular electronic properties of boron-nitride nanotube ring doped four different single-wall carbon nanotubes are investigated theoretically by performing self-consistent-field molecular-orbital semi-empirical and density functional theory calculations. Results are compared with corresponding carbon nanotubes. It is seen that polar nature of the boron-nitride nanotube ring lead to a spontaneous polarization, an electrostatic potential barrier occurs in metallic carbon nanotube models, and these m...
