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 nanorods has become nanotube-like structures with a triangular net after relaxation. It has been found that after strain application, Si nanorods have undergone a structural change from 3D to 2D, and further strain application has led to changes from 2D to 1D without fragmentation. Si(111) nanorod has reached to an equilibrium and set itself into an ordered structure (tubular form) more easily than the other models, Si(100) and Si(110), do. The silicon nanorod generated from Si(111) surface is more flexible than the other models.

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...

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, 1 K and 300 K.

Structural and Electronic Properties of GamSen Microclusters: Density Functional Theory Calculations Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2009-04-01) Structural and electronic properties of GamSen, m + n < 5, microclusters are investigated using density functional theory at two different exchange-correlation functional and three different basis sets. Ground states of gallium, selenium, and their various binary combinations containing 2-5 atoms are identified. The optimum geometries, binding energies, vibrational properties, electronic structures, the possible dissociation channels and the energies of the clusters are obtained and compared with available ...
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.
