A comparative study by FP-LAPW calculations based on DFT within LDA, PBE-GGA, EV(ex)-PW(co)-GGA, and EV(ex)-GGA-LDA(co), schemes is introduced for the structural and electronic properties of ScN in RS, ZB, WZ, and CsCI phases. According to all approximations used in this work, the RS phase is the stable ground state structure and makes a transition to CsCI phase at high transition pressure. While PBE-GGA and EV(ex)-PW(co)-GGA's have provided better structural features such as equilibrium lattice constant and bulk modulus, only EV(ex)-PW(co)-GGA and EV(ex)-GGA-LDA(co)'s have given the non zero, positive indirect energy gap for RS-ScN, comparable with the experimental ones. The indirect band gap of ScN in AS phase is enlarged to the corresponding measured value by EV(ex)-PW(co)-GGA+U(SIC) calculations in which the Coulomb self and exchange-correlation interactions of the localized d-orbitals of Sc have been corrected by the potential parameter of U. The EV(ex)-PW(co)-GGA calculations have also provided good results for the structural and electronic features of ScN in ZB, WZ, and CsCI phases comparable with the theoretical data available in the literature. EV(ex)-PW(co)-GGA and EV(ex)-PW(co)-GGA+U(SIC) schemes are considered to be the best ones among the others when the structural and electronic features of ScN are aimed to be calculated by the same exchange-correlation energy approximations.

THE STRUCTURAL AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF BNxAs1-x ALLOYS Mohammad, Rezek; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2012-10-01) The structural and electronic properties of BNxAs1-x alloys have been investigated in the total range of nitrogen by the FP-LAPW method based on DFT within the EV-PW-GGA scheme. The equilibrium lattice constants, bulk moduli, first-order pressure derivatives of the bulk moduli, and cohesive energies have been obtained by total energy calculations of the alloys after both volume and geometry optimizations. The large bowing parameters found for the lattice constants and bulk moduli have demonstrated that the ...
A Comparative Study on Two Different Direct Parallel Solution Strategies for Large-Scale Problems Bahcecioglu, T.; Ozmen, S.; Kurç, Özgür (2009-04-08) This paper presents a comparative study on two different direct parallel solution strategies for the linear solution of large scale actual finite element models: global and domain-by-domain. The global solution strategy was examined by utilizing the parallel multi-frontal equation solver, MUMPS [1], together with a finite element program. In a similar manner a substructure based parallel solution framework [2] was utilized for investigating the domain-by-domain strategy. Various large-scale structural model...

A statistical approach for performance evaluation of 386 and 486 microprocessors Akman, I (1996-02-01) This paper endeavors to show how multivariate statistical techniques may be used to assess the hardware performance of 386 and 486 based microcomputers. The benchmark test results collected from 34 microcomputers were analyzed in order to find the objective ''assessment criterion'' which could be used as part of the future certification process. The dominant hardware components for the price of these computers were also searched.
A theoretical study on nitrourea and its tautomers Türker, Burhan Lemi; Gumus, Selcuk; Atalar, Taner; Atlanel, Sencer (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) In the present study, nitrourea and its possible tautomers have been subjected to theoretical analysis by performing Hartree-Fock and also density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The optimized geometries, vibrational frequencies, and some thermodynamical values for the presently considered species have been obtained in their ground states.
