The structural stability and energetics of Al(n)(n = 3 to 55) clusters are investigated by using a recently developed empirical many-body potential energy function which contains two- and three-body atomic interactions. Molecular-dynamics technique is employed in the simulation. It is found that the energetically most stable structures of aluminum clusters are in compact distorted buckled form.

STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND ENERGETICS OF FCC METAL MICROCLUSTERS - EMPIRICAL MANY-BODY POTENTIAL-ENERGY FUNCTION CALCULATION Erkoç, Şakir (Wiley, 1990-09-01) The structural stability and energetics of microclusters containing 3 to 7 atoms of f.c.c. metal elements are investigated. A recently developed empirical many‐body potential function (PEF) is used in the calculations, which comprises two‐ and threebody atomic interactions. The PEF satisfies both, bulk cohesive energy and stability condition. It is found that the energetically most stable structures of microclusters are in compact form.
Dielectric Properties of HDOBAMBC Close to the Smectic A-Chiral Smectic C (AC*) Transition Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Informa UK Limited, 2015-06-01) The temperature dependence of the dielectric susceptibility chi(g) is recalculated by making the elastic modulus K temperature dependent for the chiral smectic C phase in HDOBAMBC. For this calculation, the experimental data for the spontaneous polarization P-S, tilt angle theta and the helical pitch rho are used from literature close to the AC* transition in HDOBAMBC. The temperature dependences of the wave vector of the helical modulation q, the elastic free energy F and the critical electric field E-C ar...
Molecular-dynamics simulations of surface and bulk properties of Zn, Cd, and ZnCd systems Amirouche, L; Erkoç, Şakir (Wiley, 2004-02-01) Surface and bulk properties of Zn, Cd, and ZnCd systems have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics simulations using a recently developed empirical many-body potential energy function for these systems, which comprices two- and three-body atomic interactions. Surface reconstruction and multilayer relaxation on clean surfaces, adatom on surface, substitutional atom on surface and bulk materials, and vacancy on surface and bulk materials have been studied extensively.

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.
Critical behaviour of the polarization, tilt angle, electric susceptibility and the specific heat close to the SmA-ferroelectric SmC (SmC*) phase transitions Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Kilit, E. (Informa UK Limited, 2006-01-01) This study gives the temperature dependence of the two order parameters, namely, polarization P and the tilt angle theta, when there is a biquadratic coupling P-2 theta(2) in the expansion of the Landau free energy. This applies to the electric-field-induced SmA-Ferro-Electric SmC (SmC*) phase transition. From this expansion of the Landau free energy in terms of the polarization and the tilt angle, we obtain the temperature dependence of the electric susceptibility chi and the electric field dependence of t...
