The structural and electronic properties of isolated neutral Zn-m,Cd-n Te-k, clusters for m + n+ k = (2 - 4) have been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP/CEP-121G level. The electronic ground state has been found to be spin triplet for the clusters Te-2, CdTe, ZnTe2, and CdTe2, the rest have been found to have a spin singlet state. The optimum geometries, charge density, spin density, electrostatic potential, excess charge on atoms, dipole moments, vibration frequencies, highest occupied molecular orbitals, lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, HOMOLUMO gaps (E-g), the possible dissociation channels and the corresponding dissociation energies of the clusters considered have been obtained. The energy gap (E-g) decreases with increasing number of atoms in the clusters.

Density functional theory calculations of small ZnmSn clusters Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2001-07-16) We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of isolated neutral ZnmSn clusters for m + n less than or equal to 4 by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP level. We have obtained the optimum geometries, the electronic structures, and the possible dissociation channels of the clusters considered.
Structural and electronic properties of InmSen microclusters: density functional theory calculations Erkoc, S; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay; Yilmaz, T (2001-06-15) We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of isolated InmSen microclusters for m + n less than or equal to 4 by performing density functional theory calculations. We have obtained the optimum geometries, possible dissociation channels and the electronic structure of the clusters considered.
Cluster, surface and bulk properties of ZnCd binary alloys: Molecular-dynamics simulations Erkoç, Şakir (2005-01-01) The structural and electronic properties of isolated neutral Zn Cd-n clusters for m+n <= 3 have been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP level. The optimum geometries, vibrational frequencies, electronic structures, and the possible dissosiation channels of the clusters considered have been obtained. An empirical many-body potential energy function (PEF), which comprices two- and three-body atomic interactions, has been developed to investigate the structural features ...
A density functional theory study on the structural and electronic properties of PbxSbySez (x plus y plus z=2, 3) clusters Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (2018-01-30) The structural and electronic properties of neutral ternary PbxSbySez clusters (x y + z = 2, 3) in their ground states have been explored by means of density functional theory calculations. The geometric structures and binding energies are systematically explored and for the most stable configurations of each cluster type vibrational frequencies, charges on atoms, energy difference between highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, and the possible dissociations channels have been analyzed. ...
Structural and electronic properties of bare and hydrogenated silicon clusters Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2001-02-01) We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of both bare and hydrogenated Si-m (m = 5,17, 29, 35,47) clusters using density functional theory. It has been found that the total binding energy decreases as the cluster size increases for both bare and hydrogenated silicon clusters. Moreover, optimization contracts the clusters: optimized geometry of bare clusters is quite different from those of hydrogenated clusters. The electronic structure calculations give the size-dependent band gap for ...
