The structural and electronic properties of honeycomb-like zinc oxide sheet has been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations. Carbon, Nitrogen, Fluorine and Phosphorus atom doped form of ZnO sheets have been considered for calculations as well as their defect free forms. All systems under consideration have been fully optimized. The substitution atoms have been replaced on the oxygen site in the neutral charge state. All the calculations have been repeated for different cell sizes. Excess charges, bond lengths and formation energies have been calculated and compared with each other. It has been found that P atom substitution expands the bond length with respect to pristine sheets. C atom substitution yields relatively larger charge transfer from C to the lattice. P atom substitution is an exothermic process, for the others the process is an endothermic.

Structural Properties of Pristine and Defected ZnO Nanosheets Under Biaxial Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (2016-02-01) Structural properties of defected zinc oxide nanosheets have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. An atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Different types of defects (vacancy, exchange, Stone Wales like, line defect and ring-like) at the central region have been considered for the nanosheets. Strain has been applied to the generated ZnO nanostructures along both x- and y-axes, which has been realized at two diffe...
Epoxidation of Propylene on a [Ag14O9] Cluster Representing Ag2O (001) Surface: A Density Functional Theory Study Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2012-01-01) Density functional theory calculations were employed to study partial oxidation of propylene on a [Ag14O9] cluster representing Ag2O (001) surface for which positive effect for ethylene oxide formation has been reported in our earlier work at the same level of theory (Fellah et al., Catal Lett 141: 762, 2011). Propylene oxide (PO), propanal, acetone and G-allyl radical formation reaction mechanisms were investigated. P-allyl formation path and two propylene adsorption paths resulting in PO formation are com...
Adsorption of gold atoms on anatase TiO2 (100)-1x1 surface Vural, Kıvılcım Başak; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi; Department of Physics (2009) In this work the electronic and structural properties of anatase TiO2 (100) surface and gold adsorption have been investigated by using the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). TiO2 is a wide band-gap material and to this effects it finds numerous applications in technology such as, cleaning of water, self-cleaning, coating, solar cells and so on. Primarily, the relation between the surface energy of the anatase (100)-1x1 phase and the TiO2-layers is examined. After an app...
Evolution of the electronic structure and properties of charged titanium doped aluminum nanoclusters ERDOĞDU, YUSUF; Erkoç, Şakir (2013-11-01) A systematic study of the titanium doped aluminum clusters with various spin multiplicities have been performed by using Density Functional Theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap, ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), Adiabatic Electron Affinity (AEA), Vertical Electron Affinity (VDE) and vertical detachment energy (VDE) are also computed for the most stable isomer of each cluster.
A theoretical study of chemical doping and width effect on zigzag graphene nanoribbons Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-01) The energetics and the electronic properties of nitrogen- and boron-doped graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. For the optimized geometry configurations, vibrational frequency analysis and wavefunction stability tests have been carried out. Different doping site optimizations for a model nanoribbon have been performed and formation energy values of these sites revealed that zigzag edgesite for both of the dopants were the most favorable ...
