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 potential are delineated and discussed. In general, structural properties calculated by these functions are found to be in better agreement with experiments than corresponding energy‐related properties.

Unified theory of linear instability of anisotropic surfaces and interfaces under capillary, electrostatic, and elastostatic forces: The regrowth of epitaxial amorphous silicon
Ogurtani, Tarik Omer (American Physical Society (APS), 2006-10-01)
The first-order unified linear instability analysis (LISA) of the governing equation for the evolution of surfaces and interfaces under capillary, electromigration (EM), and elastostatic forces is developed. A formal treatment of the thermomigration (Soret effect) driven by the nonuniform temperature distribution caused by exothermic phase transformation (growth) at the surface and interfacial layers is presented and its apparent influence on the capillary force in connection with the stability is also esta...
Thermally stimulated currents in layered Ga4SeS3 semiconductor
Aytekin, S; Yuksek, NS; Goktepe, M; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Aydinli, A (Wiley, 2004-10-01)
Thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements are carried out on nominally undoped Ga4SeS3 layered semiconductor samples with the cur-rent flowing along the c-axis in the temperature range of 10 to 150 K. The results are analyzed according to various methods, such as curve fitting, initial rise and Chen's methods, which seem to be in good agreement with each other. Experimental evidence is found for the presence of three trapping centers in Ga4SeS3 with activation energies of 70, 210 and 357 meV. The calc...
ANOMALOUS AMPLITUDE DEPENDENT DISLOCATION DAMPING ASSOCIATED WITH ANHARMONIC OSCILLATIONS OF A COULOMBIC KINK CHAIN IN THE NONLINEAR DISSIPATIVE ATMOSPHERE OF IMPURITY ATOMS
OGURTANI, TO (Wiley, 1991-11-16)
The effects of the anharmonic interaction of the Coulombic kink chain on the strength and the position of the cold-work internal friction peaks associated with the nonlinearly power dissipating impurity atoms are investigated by a novel numerical simulation of the related discrete mathematical macro-model. The present macroscopic model of dislocation damping which relies heavily on the microscopic theory of kink-interstitial interactions shows very strong anomalous strain amplitude as well as the bias stres...
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.
Phonon dispersions and elastic constants of disordered Pd-Ni alloys
Kart, SO; Tomak, Mehmet; Cagin, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-31)
Phonon frequencies of Pd-Ni alloys are calculated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Lattice dynamical properties computed from Sutton-Chen (SC) and quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) potentials as a function of temperature are compared with each other. We present all interatomic force constants up to the 8th nearest-neighbor shell obtained by using the calculated potential. Elastic constants evaluated by two methods are consistent with each other. The transferability of the potential is also tested. The result...
