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 orientation of -OH groups, was found to be energetically more favorable than the others. In model 11, after the relaxation, its conformation was transformed to skewed structure due to the repulsive forces between -OH groups. Isolated APTS molecule was also investigated in order to obtain its most stable molecular geometry, for which the HOMO-LUMO gap was found to be 4.41 eV. In addition to these, after the energetically most favorable hydroxylated Si(111) surface was calculated, APTS molecule was chemisorbed on the surface by means of liberating its methoxy groups. In our model for the binding of APTS molecule on the Si(111) surface, the silicon atom in the APTS forms three bonds to hydroxyl groups at the surface.

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,...
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.
Dissociation of Ph-3 and AsH3 on Ge(100)(2x1) surface Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2007-06-01) The most stable structures for the dissociation of phosphine and arsine on Ge(100)(2x1) surface have been investigated by relative total energy calculations based on Density Functional Theory. It has been found that the thermodynamically preferred structures in the dissociation path of phosphine and arsine are the same; PH2 and AsH2 products prefer to be on a single Ge dimer bond, but PH and AsH prefer to be between the adjacent Ge dimers. According to the optimization calculations, the dissociation path st...
Effect of low-energy electron irradiation on (Bi, Pb)-2212 superconductors Ogun, SE; Goktas, H; Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-22) The effect of low-energy electron irradiation on the properties of the Bi-based superconductors is studied. Two sets of polycrystalline (Bi, Pb)-2212 samples were synthesized by heating the appropriate mixtures of powders at 840 degrees C for 100 h, then quenched or furnace cooled to room temperature. The samples were irradiated by low-energy (1-10 keV), pulsed (20 ns) electron beam up to a dose of 6.2 x 10(15) cm(-2). X- ray diffraction patterns, resistance-temperature behaviours, critical currents, and mi...
Ab initio study of the one-monolayer Sb/Si(001) interface Cakmak, M; Shaltaf, R; Srivastava, GP; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (Elsevier BV, 2003-06-10) 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...
