We study the structural properties of the indium phosphide nanorods of different thickness in zinc blende and wurtzite phases by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations using an inter-atomic potential. In addition to different temperatures, the nanorods are also investigated under strain and compression. When the stretch is applied, simulations reveal that the sequence of the irreversible structural transformation for the zinc blende nanorods is zinc blende -> rock salt -> wurtzite and the wurtzite nanorods follow the sequence of wurtzite -> rock salt. After the wurtzite nanorods are compressed and stretched back, the thinner nanorods recover their initial non-deformed structure. Upon heating without stretching, the zinc blende nanorods undergo a transition from the zinc blende phase to the rock salt formation and the wurtzite phase is not observed, whereas the wurtzite nanorods transform from the wurtzite to the rock salt phases. For the wurtzite nanorods, a heating procedure is also carried out at a constant temperature to observe the annealing effect. The wurtzite nanorods are subjected to two approaches processes to observe if the transition processes are reversible: in the first process, the heated wurtzite nanorods are cooled down; in the second process, the cooled nanorods are put under strain. It has been observed that the transition is always irreversible for the nanorods once they are completely transformed into the rock salt phase whereas it is usually reversible for the nanorods before the complete transition into the rock salt phase has occurred. The reversible transition is also observed as the cooled nanorod is stretched back.

Structural Properties of ZnO Nanotubes Under Uniaxial Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (2013-10-01)
Structural properties of zinc oxide nanotubes with zigzag, armchair and chiral geometries have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. An 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 c...
Structural Properties of beta-Fe2O3 Nanorods Under Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Alaei, Sholeh; Erkoç, Şakir (2014-01-01)
Structural properties of beta-Fe2O3 nanorods under uniaxial strain have been investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations at different temperatures. Two different atomistic potential energy functions (PEFs) were used to make a comparative study. It followed from our results that the PEF used to model a given material was rather significant; different PEFs would give rise to different characteristics for the same material.
Structural Properties of Pristine and Defected ZnO Nanosheets Under Biaxial Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (2016-02-01)
Structural properties of defected zinc oxide nanosheets have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. An atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Different types of defects (vacancy, exchange, Stone Wales like, line defect and ring-like) at the central region have been considered for the nanosheets. Strain has been applied to the generated ZnO nanostructures along both x- and y-axes, which has been realized at two diffe...
Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of various nanosystems : molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations
Sholejh, Alaei; Erkoç, Şakir; Jalili, Seifollah; Department of Physics (2014)
In this study, we aim to investigate the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of various nanosystems using molecular dynamics simulation technique and density functional theory calculations. In the first part, iron oxide nanostructures (nanorods, clusters and nanoparticles) were considered. We applied strain, at different temperatures, on nanorods in order to study stability of iron oxide nanorods using molecular dynamics simulation. Furthermore, radial distribution functions of iron oxide nanopar...
Mechanical properties of CdZnTe nanowires under uniaxial stretching and compression: A molecular dynamics simulation study
Kurban, Mustafa; Erkoç, Şakir (2016-09-01)
Structural and mechanical properties of ternary CdZnTe nanowires have been investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations using an atomistic potential. The simulation procedures are carried out as uniaxial stretching and compression at 1 K and 300 K. The results demonstrate that the mechanical properties of CdZnTe ternary nanowires show significantly a dependence on size and temperature under uniaxial stretching and compression.
