The structural and electronic properties of neutral ternary PbxSbySez clusters (x y + z = 2, 3) in their ground states have been explored by means of density functional theory calculations. The geometric structures and binding energies are systematically explored and for the most stable configurations of each cluster type vibrational frequencies, charges on atoms, energy difference between highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, and the possible dissociations channels have been analyzed. Depending on being binary or ternary cluster and composition, the most energetic structures have singlet, doublet or triplet ground states, and trimers prefer to form isosceles, equilateral or scalene triangle structure.

Structural and electronic properties of bare and hydrogenated silicon clusters Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2001-02-01) We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of both bare and hydrogenated Si-m (m = 5,17, 29, 35,47) clusters using density functional theory. It has been found that the total binding energy decreases as the cluster size increases for both bare and hydrogenated silicon clusters. Moreover, optimization contracts the clusters: optimized geometry of bare clusters is quite different from those of hydrogenated clusters. The electronic structure calculations give the size-dependent band gap for ...
Density functional theory calculations of small ZnmSn clusters Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2001-07-16) We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of isolated neutral ZnmSn clusters for m + n less than or equal to 4 by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP level. We have obtained the optimum geometries, the electronic structures, and the possible dissociation channels of the clusters considered.
A comparative study of the electronic properties of aluminum nitride compounds Mohammad, Rezek; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2016-01-01) Electronic properties of aluminum nitride in wurtzite, zinc-blende, and rock-salt phases are investigated by a full potential-linearized augmented plane waves method based on density functional theory within standard local density approximation and its four improved versions. Local density approximation corrected by the generalized gradient functional of Perdew-Wang-Engel-Vosko is found to be more successful than the other generalized gradient functional approximations considered in this work for providing ...
Structural and electronic properties of InmSen microclusters: density functional theory calculations Erkoc, S; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay; Yilmaz, T (2001-06-15) We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of isolated InmSen microclusters for m + n less than or equal to 4 by performing density functional theory calculations. We have obtained the optimum geometries, possible dissociation channels and the electronic structure of the clusters considered.
A joint density functional and classical molecular dynamics study on interface characteristics of graphene and polyetheretherketone Sert, Elif; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2020-10-9) Graphene is a single layer allotrope of carbon with a honeycomb arrangement of atoms, characterized by excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, high Young’s modulus as well as desirable electrical properties such as high electron mobility. Due to these superior properties, it is considered an important material in numerous technological applications. Among these, graphene-polymer composites have attracted significant interest in the materials research community in recent years. T...
