Nonlinear free vibration analysis of curved double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) embedded in an elastic medium is studied in this study. Nonlinearities considered are due to large deflection of carbon nanotubes (geometric nonlinearity) and nonlinear interlayer van der Waals forces between inner and outer tubes. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is utilized to discretize the partial differential equations of motion in spatial domain, which resulted in a nonlinear set of algebraic equations of motion. The effect of nonlinearities, different end conditions, initial curvature, and stiffness of the surrounding elastic medium, and vibrational modes on the nonlinear free vibration of DWCNTs is studied. Results show that it is possible to detect different vibration modes occurring at a single vibration frequency when CNTs vibrate in the out-of-phase vibration mode. Moreover, it is observed that boundary conditions have significant effect on the nonlinear natural frequencies of the DWCNT including multiple solutions.

Nonlinear optical properties of a Woods-Saxon quantum dot under an electric field AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Turgut, Sadi; Unal, V. Ustoglu; Aksahin, E.; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) A theoretical study of the effect of the confining potential on the nonlinear optical properties of two dimensional quantum dots is performed. A three-parameter Woods-Saxon potential is used within the density matrix formalism. The control of confinement by three parameters and an applied electric field gives one quite an advantage in studying their effects on the nonlinear properties. The coefficients investigated include the optical rectification, second and third-harmonic generation and the change in the...
Electronic structure of carbon nanotubes: AM1-RHF calculations Erkoç, Şakir; Turker, L (Elsevier BV, 1999-07-01) We have investigated the electronic structure of optimized open-ended single-wall carbon nanotubes with armchair and zigzag geometries. The calculations were performed using AM1-RHF semiempirical molecular orbital method. It has been found that the density of states of the zigzag model is more sensitive to the tube size than that of the armchair model.
Nonlinear intersubband optical absorption of Si delta-doped GaAs under an electric field Yildirim, Hasan; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2006-10-01) We study the nonlinear intersubband optical absorption of a single Si delta-doped GaAs sheet placed in the middle of a GaAs quantum well and subjected to an electric field. The Schrodinger and Poisson equations are solved self-consistently for various electric field strengths. The self-consistent solutions provide us with the correct confining potential, the wave functions, the corresponding subband energies and the subband occupations. The nonlinear optical intersubband absorption spectra are discussed wit...
Segregation formation, thermal and electronic properties of ternary cubic CdZnTe clusters: MD simulations and DFT calculations KURBAN, MUSTAFA; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2017-04-01) Surface and core formation, thermal and electronic properties of ternary cubic CdZnTe clusters are investigated by using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT.) calculations. In this work, MD simulations of the CdZnTe clusters are performed by means of LAMMPS by using bond order potential (BOP). MD simulations are carried out at different temperatures to study the segregation phenomena of Cd, Zn and Te atoms, and deviation of clusters and heat capacity. After that,...
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.
