Following the successful localization of dipolar ultracold atoms in harmonic traps, theoretical investigation of their density profiles have attracted very large interest in the literature. In this thesis, density functional theory will be used to investigate the density profiles of ultracold dipolar atoms (e.g. Cr) in harmonic potential traps. Parameters of the problem such as harmonic well depth, magnetic moments of the atoms will be explored in order to understand their effects on the density profile.

Subject Keywords

Density functional theory calculations of small ZnmSn clusters Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2001-07-16) We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of isolated neutral ZnmSn clusters for m + n less than or equal to 4 by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP level. We have obtained the optimum geometries, the electronic structures, and the possible dissociation channels of the clusters considered.
Density functional theory investigation of two-dimensional dipolar fermions in a harmonic trap Toffoli, Hande; TANATAR, BİLAL (2014-08-13) We investigate the behavior of polarized dipolar fermions in a two-dimensional harmonic trap in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) formalism using the local density approximation. We treat only a few particles interacting moderately. Important results were deduced concerning key characteristics of the system such as total energy and particle density. Our results indicate that, at variance with Coulombic systems, the exchangecorrelation component was found to provide a large contribution to...
Density Functional Theory Calculations on Polyacene Molecules Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (2010-03-01) The structural and electronic properties of isolated linear and zigzag type polyacene molecules have been investigated by density functional theory calculations using B3LYP exchange-correlation functional with 6-31G(d) basis set. The zigzag polyacene molecules found to be energetically more stable than the linear structures and the optimized molecules of both types have planar geometries. In the present study, more attention has been given to the picene molecule which is a rival to pentacene molecule and ha...
Density functional theory for molecular multiphoton ionization in the perturbative regime Toffolı, Danıele; Decleva, Piero (2012-10-07) A general implementation of the lowest nonvanishing order perturbation theory for the calculation of molecular multiphoton ionization cross sections is proposed in the framework of density functional theory. Bound and scattering wave functions are expanded in a multicentric basis set and advantage is taken of the full molecular point group symmetry, thus enabling the application of the formalism to medium-size molecules. Multiphoton ionization cross sections and angular asymmetry parameters have been calcul...
Density functional theory study on the structural properties and energetics of Zn(m)Te(n) microclusters Pekoez, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-01) Density functional theory calculations with B3LYP exchange-correlation functional using CEP-121G basis set have been carried out in order to elucidate the structural properties and energetics of neutral zinc telluride clusters, Zn(m)Te(n)(m + n <= 6), in their ground states. The geometric structures, binding energies, vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities, Mulliken charges on atoms, HOMO and LUMO energies, the most possible dissociation channels and their corresponding energies for the clusters h...
