DISSOCIATION OF Au-n (n=3,4) MICROCLUSTERS: A MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATION

1989-01-01
The dissociation of Au-3 and Au-4 microclusters has been investigated using a molecular-dynamics computer simulation. The potential energy function used in the calculations includes two-and three-body interactions, which are represented by Lennard-Jones and Axilrod-Teller potentials, respectively. It has been found that dissociation starts for both clusters after 3000K.

Analysis and simulation of the backscattering enhancement phenomenon from randomly distributed point scatterers
Ağar, Kartal Şahin; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis investigates analysis and simulation of the backscattering enhancement phenomenon from randomly distributed point scatterers. These point scatterers are randomly distributed within a cube or a sphere and then the backscattering enhancement phenomenon from both cubical and spherical distributions are examined throughout the thesis. The general characteristic differences between cubical and spherical distribution about the scattering phenomenon are observed. T-matrix method is used for analytic in...
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of ZnO Nanostructures Under Strain: II-Nanorods
Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01-01)
Structural properties of zinc oxide nanorods have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. Atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated ZnO nanostructures along their length, which has been realized at two different temperatures, 1 K and 300 K. It has been found that ZnO nanostructures following strain application undergo a structural change depending on temperature and geometry.
Structural Properties of Silicon Nanorods Under Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Ozdamar, Burak; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01-01)
Structural properties of silicon nanorods generated from low-index plane surfaces (100), (110), and (111) with different cross-sections have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. An atomistic potential function consisting of a combination of two- and three-body interactions has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated Si nanorods along the uniaxial rod direction at two different temperatures; 1 K and 300 K. Si nanor...
NONLINEARITY, DISSIPATION AND TRANSPORT IN A MOLECULAR TRIMER
GULEN, D; BASKAL, S (IOP Publishing, 1993-02-15)
This study investigates the effects of dissipation on the quasi-particle transport in a degenerate molecular trimer in which the time evolution is described by the discrete non-linear Schrodinger equation. The standard procedure of introducing dissipation as a phase-destroying stochastic parameter through the corresponding Liouville-von Neumann equation is employed. A dosed second-order integrodifferential equation describing the time evolution of the site occupation probability difference is derived in the...
WEAK-COUPLING OPTICAL POLARON IN QW-CONFINED MEDIA
YILDIRIM, T; Erçelebi, Ayşe Çiğdem (IOP Publishing, 1991-06-17)
The ground state of the Frohlich polaron is retrieved as a function of the degree of confinement in a three-dimensional quantum well with tunable barrier potentials. A unified overview of the binding energy interpolating between all possible confinement geometries is provided within the framework of the second-order perturbation theory.
