The structural properties and energetics of endohedral lithium and lithium ion doped Stone-Wales defected armchair and zigzag carbon nanocapsule systems have been explored theoretically. In order to investigate the effect of the defect on the systems, pristine capsule calculations have been also performed and presented briefly. The optimizations of the systems have been performed within the semi-empirical molecular orbital method at the PM3 level and the energies have been calculated with the density functional theory method using B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and 6-31G basis set. Furthermore, the thermodynamical properties for the optimized structures have been investigated by single-point energy calculations at PM3 level. The optimized geometries, total energies, some thermodynamical quantities, selected molecular orbital eigenvalues and dipole moments of the SW-defected and pristine C(5,5) and C(9,O) capsule systems have been reported.

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 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 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...
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...
