Cluster science has received increasing interest in the past decade. Clusters of almost all materials have been studied in depth both experimentally and theoretically. This growing interest in clusters is both due to their numerous practical applications and the role they play in identifying material properties in the size regime between molecules and bulk material. In the present work, we review numerous studies on the structural properties and stability of a subset of these materials, namely nanoclusters. We study nanoclusters; in groups that are formed with respect to certain properties such as electronic structure and composition. We also provide the reader with definitions and key information that is often encounteres in cluster literature.

Structural Properties of Silicon Nanorods Under Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations Ozdamar, Burak; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01-01) Structural properties of silicon nanorods generated from low-index plane surfaces (100), (110), and (111) with different cross-sections have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. An atomistic potential function consisting of a combination of two- and three-body interactions has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated Si nanorods along the uniaxial rod direction at two different temperatures; 1 K and 300 K. Si nanor...
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures Under Strain: I-Nanoribbons Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01-01) Structural properties of zinc oxide nanoribbons have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. Atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated ZnO nanostructures along their length, which has been realized at two different temperatures, namely 1 K and 300 K. It has been found that strained ZnO nanostructures undergo a structural change depending on temperature and geometry.

Structural Properties of ZnO Nanoparticels and Nanorings: Molecular Dynamics Simulations Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-06-01) Structural properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and nanorings have been investigated by performing both equilibrium and nonequilibrium classical molecular dynamics simulations at various temperatures. An atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. It has been found that ZnO nanostructures undergo a structural change depending on temperature and different models. ZnO nanorings change into rod like structures with the effect of temperature. On the o...
Enhancement of H-2 Storage in Carbon Nanotubes via Doping with a Boron Nitride Ring Onay, Aytun Koyuncular; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2009-04-01) Hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes with different chirality have been investigated by performing quantum chemical methods at semiempirical and DFT levels of calculations. It has been found that boron nitrite substitutional doping increases the hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes.
