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. Silicon and germanium microclusters show similar structural stability. The X(n)(X = Si, Ge; n = 3-7) microclusters are found to be most stable in the following forms: X3 is triangular with D3h symmetry, X4 is tetragonal with T(d) symmetry, X5 is square pyramidal with D4h symmetry, X6 is bipyramidal square with O(h) symmetry, and finally X7 is square pyramidal having two atoms underneath with D2h symmetry.

Structural features and energetics of Znn-mCdm (n=7,8) microclusters and Zn-50, Cd-50, and Zn25Cd25 nanoparticles: Molecular-dynamics simulations
Amirouche, L; Erkoç, Şakir (American Physical Society (APS), 2003-10-01)
The structural features and energetics of Znn−mCdm (n=7,8) microclusters and Zn50, Cd50, and Zn25Cd25 nanoparticles have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations using a recently developed empirical many-body potential-energy function. The most stable structures were found to be compact and three-dimensional for all elemental and mixed clusters. An interesting structural feature of the mixed clusters is that Zn and Cd atoms do not mix in mixed clusters; they come together almo...
Ground-state properties, vortices, and collective excitations in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with gravitylike interatornic attraction
Keleş, Ahmet; Tanatar, B. (American Physical Society (APS), 2008-05-01)
We study the ground-state properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate with short-range repulsion and gravitylike 1 /r interatomic attraction in two-dimensions (2D). Using the variational approach we obtain the ground-state energy and analyze the stability of the condensate for a range of interaction strengths in 2D. We also determine the collective excitations at zero temperature using the time-dependent variational method. We analyze the properties of the Thomas-Fermi-gravity and gravity regimes, and we exami...
Nondipolar effects in the photoionization dynamics of carbon tetrafluoride
Toffolı, Danıele; Decleva, Piero (American Physical Society (APS), 2008-12-01)
The linear combination of atomic orbitals approach to the calculation of the molecular continuum spectrum with B-spline basis functions has been applied to the calculation of the first-order nondipolar corrections to the photoelectron angular distributions from carbon tetrafluoride. Dipolar and nondipolar asymmetry parameter profiles have been calculated for every single-particle orbital ionization. A comparison with the available experimental data gives good agreement for the dipolar asymmetry parameter. N...
Step-up and Step-down Operators of a Two-Term Molecular Potential Via Nikiforov-Uvarov Method
Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-04-01)
The creation and annihilation operators of a two-term diatomic molecular potential are studied and it is observed that they satisfy the commutation relations of a SU(1,1) algebra. To study the Lie algebraic realization of the present potential, the normalized eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are computed by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method.
Structural and electronic properties of bamboo-like carbon nanostructure
Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01)
The structural and electronic properties of bamboo-like carbon nanostructure have been investigated qualitatively by performing semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular orbital calculations at the level of the PM3 method within the RHF formulation. It has been found that these structures are stable and endothermic. Bamboo-like carbon nanostructures resemble zigzag carbon nanotubes capped with a plane graphine sheet.
