In this study, the physical such as structural, electronic, anisotropic elastic and lattice dynamic properties of YXB4 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) compounds have been investigated. The electronic properties including band structure and corresponding partial density of states for YXB4 have been calculated. YFeB4 and YCoB4 compounds are found to have metallic behavior while YCrB4 and YMnB4 have semiconductor behavior. Also, the compounds are found to be as non-magnetic materials. The calculated elastic constants indicate that these materials are mechanically stable due to satisfying Born stability criteria. In addition, the second order elastic constants and related polycrystalline elastic moduli (e.g. shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, Debye temperature, sound velocities) are determined and the results are discussed in detail. The mechanical anisotropy is discussed using several anisotropy indexes and two-dimensional and three-dimensional surface constructions are obtained. All the compounds have dominantly covalent bonding and they are brittle materials. YCrB4 is found to be as a super hard material. YFeB4, YCoB4 and YMnB4 are found to be as hard materials. The dynamical stability of these compounds has been studied and it has been found that YCoB4 is dynamically unstable. In addition, the thermodynamic properties (heat capacity, free energy, etc) of these compounds have been obtained and discussed in detail.

Dispersive optical constants of Tl2InGaSe4 single crystals Qasrawi, A. F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2007-09-01) The structural and optical properties of Bridgman method grown Tl2InGaSe4 crystals have been investigated by means of room temperature x-ray diffraction, and transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis, respectively. The x-ray diffraction technique has shown that Tl2InGaSe4 is a single phase crystal of a monoclinic unit cell that exhibits the lattice parameters of a = 0.77244 nm, b = 0.64945 nm, c = 0.92205 nm and beta = 95.03 degrees . The optical data have revealed an indirect allowed transition band ...
Energetics and structural properties of carbon and oxygen doped hexagonal boron nitride sheets Kökten, Hatice (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-01) Energetics and structural properties of carbon and oxygen doped hexagonal boron nitride sheets have been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations. Substitutional doping model has been considered in the neutral charge state. C and O atoms replaced either B or N site in the system as impurities. A systematic study has been performed to see the effect of cell size on the calculated quantities, such as formation energy, relaxation energy, charge and bond length. It has been found that s...
STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND ENERGETICS OF C, SI, AND GE MICROCLUSTERS - EMPIRICAL MANY-BODY POTENTIAL-ENERGY FUNCTION CALCULATION Erkoç, Şakir (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1991-01-01) The structural stability and energetics of carbon, silicon, and germanium microclusters containing 3-7 atoms have been investigated by using a recently developed empirical many-body potential energy function (PEF), which comprises two- and three-body atomic interactions. The PEF satisfies both bulk cohesive energy per atom and bulk stability exactly. It has been found that the most stable C3-4 microclusters are linear with D-infinity-h symmetry but C5-7 microclusters are planar with D(nh) symmetry. Silic...
Density functional theory study on the structural properties and energetics of Zn(m)Te(n) microclusters Pekoez, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-01) Density functional theory calculations with B3LYP exchange-correlation functional using CEP-121G basis set have been carried out in order to elucidate the structural properties and energetics of neutral zinc telluride clusters, Zn(m)Te(n)(m + n <= 6), in their ground states. The geometric structures, binding energies, vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities, Mulliken charges on atoms, HOMO and LUMO energies, the most possible dissociation channels and their corresponding energies for the clusters h...
Electronic properties of a large quantum dot at a finite temperature Gulveren, B; Atav, U; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) The physical properties of a two-dimensional parabolic quantum dot composed of large number of interacting electrons are numerically determined by the Thomas Fermi (TF) method at a finite temperature. Analytical solutions are given for zero temperature for comparative purposes. The exact solution of the TF equation is obtained for the non-interacting system at finite temperatures. The effect of the number of particles and temperature on the properties are investigated both for interacting and non-interactin...
