Structural and thermal properties of Indium Phosphide spherical nanoparticles at various sizes have been investigated via classical molecular dynamics simulations using an atomistic potential energy function. The initial configurations of the nanoparticles were chosen as spheres generated from the zinc blende crystalline structure. To investigate the relation between the size and the heat capacity, the simulations were realized at temperatures in the range of 1-1300 K under both equilibrium and non-equilibrated criteria. Structural phase transition from zinc blende to rock salt phase has been observed.

Structural properties of indium phosphide nanorods: molecular dynamics simulations Nayir, Nadire; TAŞCI, EMRE; Erkoç, Şakir (2016-01-01) 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 wurtz...
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...
Structural and electronic properties of single-wall ZnO nanotubes Erkoç, Şakir; Kokten, H (Elsevier BV, 2005-07-01) The structural and electronic properties of armchair and zigzag models of single-wall ZnO nanotubes have been investigated by performing semiempirical molecular orbital self-consistent field calculations at the level of AM1 method within the RHF formulation. It has been found that these structures are stable and endothermic. The armchair model has zero net dipole moment, whereas the zigzag model has nonzero net dipole moment. The interfrontier molecular energy gap of these systems are different; the gap of ...
Structural and electronic properties of defected carbon nanocapsules Pekoez, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (2007-06-01) Structural and electronic properties of defected carbon nanocapsule systems have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital and density functional theory methods. Geometries of the structures have been optimized by applying PM3 level of calculations within restricted Hartree Fock formalism and electronic information have been obtained by applying B3LYP level of density functional theory calculation using 3-21G basis set. The studied systems include (5,5) and (9,0) single-...
Structural and electronic properties of dipropyl sulfide: A theoretical investigation Calisir, Emine Deniz; Erkoç, Şakir (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-08-01) The structural, vibrational, electronic and QSAR properties of the dipropyl sulfide (DPS) molecule in gas phase have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital (AM1 and PM3), ab initio (RHF) and density functional theory calculations. The geometry of the molecule has been optimized, infrared spectrum (vibrational modes and intensities) and the electronic properties of the molecule have been calculated in its ground state. It has been found that DPS molecule kinetically ma...
