Structural properties of various boron-carbide nanosystems with different sizes have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulation techniques at several temperatures. Studied boron carbide systems are icosahedral nanoribbons and nanosheets, graphene like armchair and zigzag type of monolayer and bilayer boron carbide nanoribbons and nanosheets, armchair and zigzag type of boron carbide nanotubes, cubic form nanorods and nanosheets. Stillinger-Weber potential energy function parameters modified for boron carbide systems have been used for atomistic simulations. In order to investigate the size and thermal effect, models have been prepared generally in four different sizes and simulated at 1 K, 300 K, 600 K and 900 K. Uniaxial strain effect along the model direction has been investigated at two different strain rates (slow and fast) for nanoribbon, nanotube and nanorod structures. Similarly biaxial strain effect has been studied for nanosheet structures.

Investigation of structural and electronic properties of ZnCdTe ternary alloy nanostructures
Kurban, Mustafa; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2016)
Nanostructures, including II-VI compound semiconductors, have attracted enormous attention in a wide range of applications of nanotechnology due to the unusual mechanical, electrical and thermal properties under varying size, geometry, temperature and pressure when compared to corresponding bulk materials. However, these properties are not directly measurable by experiments because of the methods or the availability of the experimental tools, so theoretical models and computations play an important role in ...
Investigation of the structural properties of low dimensional nanostructures : molecular dynamics simulations
Özdamar, Burak; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2013)
This study aims to investigate the structural and thermodynamic properties of nanostructures which are generated from different atoms and geometries. The nanostructures in question are boron nitride nanoparticles, silicon nanowires along with sawtooth-like graphene nanoribbons. The goal is to calculate the specific heat values of boron nitride nanoparticles while the mechanical properties of the other nanostructures are investigated under uniaxial strain. The structural behaviors of these generated nanopart...
Simulation of crystallization and glass formation processes for binary Pd-Ag metal alloys
Kart, HH; Uludogan, M; Cagin, T; Tomak, Mehmet (2003-09-12)
Glass formation and crystallization process of Pd-Ag metallic alloys are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. This simulation uses the quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) potential to study structural and transport properties of Pd-Ag alloys. Cooling rates and concentration effects on the glass formation and crystallization of binary alloys considered in this work are investigated. Pd-Ag alloys show the glass structure at fast cooling rates while it crystallizes at slow cooling rates. Increment of...
Segregation formation, thermal and electronic properties of ternary cubic CdZnTe clusters: MD simulations and DFT calculations
KURBAN, MUSTAFA; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2017-04-01)
Surface and core formation, thermal and electronic properties of ternary cubic CdZnTe clusters are investigated by using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT.) calculations. In this work, MD simulations of the CdZnTe clusters are performed by means of LAMMPS by using bond order potential (BOP). MD simulations are carried out at different temperatures to study the segregation phenomena of Cd, Zn and Te atoms, and deviation of clusters and heat capacity. After that,...
Investigation of effect of design and operating parameters on acoustophoretic particle separation via 3D device-level simulations
Sahin, Mehmet Akif; ÇETİN, BARBAROS; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-16)
In the present study, a 3D device-level numerical model is implemented via finite element method to assess the effects of design and operating parameters on the separation performance of a microscale acoustofluidic device. Elastodynamic equations together with electromechanical coupling at the piezoelectric actuators for the stress field within the solid parts, Helmholtz equation for the acoustic field within fluid, and Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow are coupled for the simulations. Once the zer...
