We have investigated the adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene. The change of the adsorption energy with the number of Se atoms and magnetization values are investigated. Electronic properties of adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene are investigated. The highest adsorption energy belongs to RuSe adsorbate. The biggest magnetization value belongs to RuSe2 adsorbate. This adsorbate makes the substrate half metallic. This property is important in electronic device applications. It is observed that substitutional Se atom changes the electronic properties of graphene. This substitution makes graphene metallic. While RuSe, RuSe4,RuSe5 adsorbate make substrate metallic, RuSe3 makes it semiconducting. Generally, it is found that there is a charge transfer from the substrate to clusters within the Lowdin analysis. This is in line with the charge difference results.

Covalent and noncovalent functionalization of pristine and defective graphene by cyclohexane and dehydrogenated derivatives
Sayin, Ceren Sibel; Toffoli, Daniele; Toffoli, Hande (2015-10-01)
The interaction of cyclohexane (C6H12), cyclohexyl (C6H11*) and cyclohexene (C6H10) with both pristine and defective graphene (single vacancy and a carbon adatom), is systematically investigated within the density functional theory framework. C6H12 physisorbs on both pristine and defective graphene while C6H10 chemisorbs on graphene in the presence of an adatom. The C6H11* radical binds covalently with the graphene substrate in all adsorption geometries considered.
Cluster, surface and bulk properties of ZnCd binary alloys: Molecular-dynamics simulations
Erkoç, Şakir (2005-01-01)
The structural and electronic properties of isolated neutral Zn Cd-n clusters for m+n <= 3 have been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP level. The optimum geometries, vibrational frequencies, electronic structures, and the possible dissosiation channels of the clusters considered have been obtained. An empirical many-body potential energy function (PEF), which comprices two- and three-body atomic interactions, has been developed to investigate the structural features ...
Adsorption of water and ammonia on TiO2-anatase cluster models
Önal, Işık; Senkan, Selim (2006-06-15)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed at B3LYP/6-31G** level are employed to study water and ammonia adsorption and dissociation on (101) and (001) TiO2 anatase surfaces both represented by totally fixed and partially relaxed Ti2O9H10 cluster models. PM3 semiempirical calculations were also conducted both on Ti2O9H10 and Ti9O33H30 clusters in order to assess the effect of cluster size. Following dissociation, the adsorption of H2O and NH3 by H-bonding on previously H2O and NH3 dissociated s...
Epoxidation of Ethylene by Silver Oxide (Ag2O) Cluster: A Density Functional Theory Study
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; van Santen, Rutger A.; Önal, Işık (2011-06-01)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to study epoxidation of ethylene on a [Ag14O9] cluster model representing silver oxide (001) surface. Theoretical results obtained in this study showed that formation paths of acetaldehyde and vinyl alcohol have higher activation barriers than that of ethylene oxide formation path on silver oxide (35 and 35 vs. 20 kcal/mol). Formation of the ethylene oxometallocycle intermediate is found to have a low probability on Ag2O(001) surface. The essential ...
Stability analysis of graphene nanoribbons by molecular dynamics simulations
Dugan, N.; Erkoç, Şakir (Wiley, 2008-04-01)
In this work, stability of graphene nanoribbons are investigated using molecular dynamics. Simulations include heating armchair and zigzag-edged nanoribbons of widths varying between one and nine hexagonal rings until the bonds between carbon atoms start to break. Breaking temperatures and binding energies per atom for different widths are presented for both armchair and zigzag-edged cases. A nontrivial relation between stability and width is observed and discussed.
