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 the study of the nanostructures to obtain detailed information on atomic and molecular structures. This is the reason why other techniques are being developed as simulation and modeling methods. This thesis aims to deepen into the structural and electronic properties of ZnCdTe ternary alloy nanostructures, such as nanoparticles and nanowires, by performing classical molecular dynamics computer simulations and density functional theory calculations.

Investigation of structural properties of boron carbide nanosystems under mechanical and thermal effects: molecular dynamics simulations Şimşek, Yusuf; Erkoç, Şakir; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2014) 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 paramet...
Investigation of warpage behavior of single crystal silicon on a silicon Adhesive ceramic integrated structure at cryogenic temperatures Baloğlu, Can; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2016-03-17) Understanding thermal stress and warpage behavior of heterogeneous component assemblies is vital in infrared sensor applications of silicon semiconductor material. The silicon semiconductor warpage behavior of the integrated structure composed of silicon material itself, an adhesive layer and a ceramic layer is analyzed by both FEM and experimental studies. The studies are performed between room temperature and 80 K. Thickness of each layer has an effect on the warpage. The silicon warpage of the initial ba...
Modelling, simulation, synthesis and structural characterization of Ni-Fe based nanoalloys Irmak, Ece Arslan; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) There is a growing interest in the simulation and production of nanoalloys because the unique chemical and physical properties of nanoalloys can be tuned, and completely new structural motifs can be created by varying the type and composition of constituent elements, the atomic ordering, size, and shape of the nanoparticles. As an important magnetic material, Fe-Ni based nanoalloys have promising applications in the chemical industry, aerospace and stealth industry, magnetic biomedical applications and comp...
Determination of cracking related properties of engineering cementitious composites Keskin, Süleyman Bahadır; Şahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (null; 2017-09-12) Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) are relatively new types of fiber reinforced cementitious materials with enhanced mechanical properties such as tensile strain hardening accompanying high tensile strain capacity. This is mainly attributed to close and multiple cracks with widths remaining under 60 µm which contributes to durability of ECC material. These properties are only achievable as a result of a micro-mechanical design that requires special ingredients that make ECC costly to be used alone, ho...
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...
