Structural properties of zinc oxide nanoribbons have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. Atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated ZnO nanostructures along their length, which has been realized at two different temperatures, namely 1 K and 300 K. It has been found that strained ZnO nanostructures undergo a structural change depending on temperature and geometry.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of ZnO Nanostructures Under Strain: II-Nanorods Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01-01) Structural properties of zinc oxide nanorods have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. Atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated ZnO nanostructures along their length, which has been realized at two different temperatures, 1 K and 300 K. It has been found that ZnO nanostructures following strain application undergo a structural change depending on temperature and geometry.
Structural Properties of ZnO Nanoparticels and Nanorings: Molecular Dynamics Simulations Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-06-01) Structural properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and nanorings have been investigated by performing both equilibrium and nonequilibrium classical molecular dynamics simulations at various temperatures. An atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. It has been found that ZnO nanostructures undergo a structural change depending on temperature and different models. ZnO nanorings change into rod like structures with the effect of temperature. On the o...
Structural Properties of Silicon Nanorods Under Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations Ozdamar, Burak; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01-01) Structural properties of silicon nanorods generated from low-index plane surfaces (100), (110), and (111) with different cross-sections have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. An atomistic potential function consisting of a combination of two- and three-body interactions has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated Si nanorods along the uniaxial rod direction at two different temperatures; 1 K and 300 K. Si nanor...
Enhancement of H-2 Storage in Carbon Nanotubes via Doping with a Boron Nitride Ring Onay, Aytun Koyuncular; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2009-04-01) Hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes with different chirality have been investigated by performing quantum chemical methods at semiempirical and DFT levels of calculations. It has been found that boron nitrite substitutional doping increases the hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes.
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Pristine and Defective Graphene Nanoribbons Under Strain Tuzun, Burcu; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2013-02-01) Structural properties of pristine and defective graphene nanoribbons have been investigated by stretching them under 5 percent and 10 percent uniaxial strain until the nanoribbons fracture. The stretching process have been carried out by performing molecular dynamics simulations at 1 K and 300 K to determine the temperature effect on the structure of the graphene nanoribbons. Results of the simulations indicated that the conformation of the initial graphene nanoribbon model, temperature, and stretching spee...
