Subband and shallow donor binding energies are calculated. The emphasis is given on the electric field effects for wires of different shapes. It is shown that the donor binding energy is sensitive to the interplay of the electric field and geometrical effects.

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.
SHALLOW AND CHALCOGEN DOUBLE DONORS IN SILICON Tomak, Mehmet (IOP Publishing, 1987-01-01) The extension of the conventional effective-mass theory for shallow donors in semiconductors is examined. The shallow-deep instability problem is studied. A better incorporation of the intervalley scattering factor is discussed. The binding energies and pressure coefficients of chalcogen donors in Si are calculated using a model impurity potential. Results are compared with experimental values and earlier theoretical estimates.
Interatomic potentials with multi-body interactions Haliciogli, T.; Pamuk, H. O.; Erkoç, Sevilay (Wiley, 1988-9-1) Various model potentials comprising two‐ and three‐body interactions are analyzed comparatively. In this study Tersoff (T), Tersoff‐Dodson (TD), Stillinger‐Weber (SW), and Pearson‐Takai‐Halicioglu‐Tiller (PTHT) potentials are included and their capabilities in reproducing various bulk, surface, and small cluster properties of silicon are investigated. For a proper comparison properties of small Si clusters are also calculated in this work using the PTHT function. Applicability and limitations of each potent...
Donor binding energies in GaAs quantum wells considering the band nonparabolicity effects and the wavefunction elongation Aktas, S; Okan, SE; Erdogan, I; Akbas, H; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2000-09-01) The donor binding energies in finite GaAs/GaxAl1-As-x quantum wells have been calculated by considering the confinement of electrons, which increases as the well width increases. The variational solutions have been improved by using a two-parameter trial wavefunction, and by including the conduction band nonparabolicity. It is shown that the method used gives results in agreement with those obtained in the experiments on the effective mass and the donor binding energy, both of which are strongly dependent o...
Acceptor 1s-2p(+/-) transitions in GaAs/Ga0.7Al0.3As quantum wells: Effects of spatially dependent screening under electric and magnetic fields Akbas, H; Aktas, S; Okan, SE; Ulas, M; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 1998-02-01) The valence subband energies in the presence of an electric-field are calculated using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The 1s- and 2p(+/-)-like acceptor states in the presence of a magnetic field are then calculated variationally. The effects of the spatially dependent screening function epsilon(r) on the calculation of the transition energies are specifically investigated. The use of a constant epsilon(o) is shown to yield better agreement with experimental results.
