The structural stability of carbon nanocages, fullerens and toroids, have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. The systems considered are C-120 and C-240 in ball and toroidal structures. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that C-120 ball is very unstable, and the other structures are relatively more strong against heat treatment.

Structural properties of diamond nanorods: molecular-dynamics simulations Malcioglu, OB; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2003-05-01) The structural properties of carbon nanorods obtained from diamond crystal have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. Diamond nanorods have been generated from three low-index planes of diamond crystal. It has been found that the average coordination number, cross-section geometry, and surface orientation from which the nanorod is generated play a role in the stability of ...
Thermal stability of Benzorod arrays: Molecular-dynamics simulations Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2005-05-01) A set of Benzorod arrays on a graphene substrate has been investigated by performing classical molecular-dynamics simulations. Benzorod is composed of aligned and dehydrogenated benzene rings that are stacked to form a rod-like structure. It has been found that the arrays considered axe thermally stable up to elevated temperatures, with a dependence on length.
Junction formation in crossed nanotubes under pressure: Molecular-dynamics simulations Tasci, E; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Erkoc, A (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2005-09-01) Junction formation in crossed C(10,0) single wall carbon nanotubes under pressure has been investigated, using classical molecular-dynamics simulations at 1 K. It has been found that a stable mechanical junction was formed by means of placing two crossed single wall carbon nanotubes between two rigid graphene layers which move toward each other.
Structural and electronic properties of the DPPC molecule Erkoç, Şakir; Korkmaz, Filiz (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-07-01) The structural and electronic properties of the DPPC molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular-orbital theory calculations at the PM3 level in its ground state.
Molecular-dynamics simulations of uranium microclusters Erkoç, Şakir; Bastug, T; Hirata, M; Tachimori, S (Physical Society of Japan, 1999-02-01) Structural stability and energetics of uranium microclusters, U-n (n = 3-13, 27-137), have been investigated by molecular-dynamics simulations. An empirical model potential energy function has been parameterised for the uranium element by using the dimer interaction potential energy profile of U-2, which is calculated by relativistic density functional method. Stable structures of the microclusters for n = 3-13 have been determined by molecular-dynamics simulation. It has been found that uranium microcluste...
