Ab initio calculations, based on norm-conserving pseudopotentials and density functional theory, have been performed to investigate the displacive Sb adsorption on the Si(0 0 1) surface with the (2 x 1) reconstruction. For the one-monolayer coverage of Sb, even though the formation of a pure Sb-Sb dimer is energetically more favorable than the interdiffusion of Sb into any of the second and third substrate layers, we found further that this interdiffusion will relieve the tensile stress along the dimer bond leading to an increasing isotropy in surface stress indicating that displacive adsorption might still be an intermediate step towards surface roughness.

An ab initio study of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane molecule on Si(111)-(root 3 x root 3) surface Demirel, G.; Birlik, G.; Cakmak, M.; Caykara, T.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-15) The chemisorption and reaction of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTS) molecule on the Si(111)-(root 3 x root 3) surface are investigated by first principles density-functional calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. Before studying the chemisorption of APTS molecule on the surface, we have firstly put three-OH groups on the silicon surface, but considering six different locations for H and O atoms. Upon their relaxations, model 11, which is assumed to be crosswise for initial orientatio...
Effect of hydrogenation on B/Si(001)-(1 x 2) Cakmak, M.; Mete, E.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-15) Ab initio calculations, based on pseudopotentials and density functional theory, have been performed to investigate the effect of hydrogenation on the atomic geometries and the energetics of substitutional boron on the generic Si(001)-(1 x 2) surface. For a single B atom substitution corresponding to 0.5 ML coverage, we have considered two different sites: (i) the mixed Si-B dimer structure and (ii) boron substituting for the second-layer Si to form Si-B back-bond structure, which is energetically more favo...
Interaction of water molecule with silicon surfaces Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (Elsevier BV, 1987-9) In this work, a number of state density calculations are carried out to understand the binding states of adsorbed H2O on Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces and the spectra resulting therefrom. It is found that the angle between the molecular plane and the surface normal has a drastic effect on the adsorbate states. In the light of the IR, EELS and UPS experimental results, the LDOS calculations lead to the dissociative type adsorption of H2O on Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces excluding the molecular type.
Electronic and structural properties of armchair SWCNT/TiO2(110)-(1 x 2) system Tayran, C.; ÇAKMAK, MELEK; Elliatioglu, S. (Elsevier BV, 2011-03-01) We have presented structural and electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with armchair chirality on the reconstructed rutile TiO2(110)-(1 x 2) surface by means of ab initio calculations using density functional theory. For the TiO2 surface reconstruction, we have adopted an added-row model which was experimentally proposed in parallel to STM patterns and theoretically agreed by first principle calculations. In this work, we have studied, as examples, two CNTs with different sizes, (3,...
Atomic and electronic structure of Sr/Si(001)-(2 x 2) Cakmak, M.; Mete, E.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-15) The adsorption of Sr on the Si(001) surface with the semiantiphase dimer (2 x 2) reconstruction is studied, based upon the ab initio pseudopotential calculations. It is calculated that the sermantiphase dimer (2 x 2) reconstruction (2 dimers per unit cell) is more favorable than the (2 x 1) phase (I dimer per unit cell) by an energy of about 0.24 eV/dimer. Considering the energetically more stable reconstruction, we have assumed four possible locations for 1/4 monolayer (ML) Sr adsorption on this surface: (...
