We begin with the concept of semiconductor surface passivation by adsorption of sub-monolayer atomic coverages. We then present a theoretical analysis of structural reconstruction and passivating behaviour of semiconductor surfaces upon sub-monolayer adsorption of alkaline-earth metals (group II atoms) and chalcogens (group VI atoms). Specific results are presented from first-principles calculations for Ca adsorption on Si(0 0 1) and Si(1 1 1), and S adsorption on GaAs(0 0 1). The role of chemical species of adsorbate and surface atoms in achieving different degrees of passivation is highlighted.

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.
Adsorption of RuSex (x=1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene: First principle calculations AKTÜRK, OLCAY ÜZENGİ; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-08-30) We have investigated the adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene. The change of the adsorption energy with the number of Se atoms and magnetization values are investigated. Electronic properties of adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene are investigated. The highest adsorption energy belongs to RuSe adsorbate. The biggest magnetization value belongs to RuSe2 adsorbate. This adsorbate makes the substrate half metallic. This property is important in electronic device appli...
Computational studies on nitratoethylnitramine (NENA), its tautomers and charged forms Türker, Burhan Lemi; Atalar, Taner (2009-02-15) An energetic material, nitratoethylnitramine (NENA), its tautomers and also its charged forms are considered quantum chemically, using various basis sets at the levels of ab initio and density functional theories (DFT). NENA has been found to be sensitive to negative charge development, resulting in rupture of O-NO(2) bond. Also conformational and molecular dynamics (MD) studies have been performed on NENA. Various geometrical parameters, energies and infrared spectra have been obtained and discussed. Also,...
Investigation of electromagnetic wave propagation in double negative materials Şen, Saffet Gökçen; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) This thesis analyzes some aspects of electromagnetic wave propagation in double negative materials. Double negative materials have negative refractive indices. They are backward-wave materials. Plane waves undergo negative refraction at interfaces between double positive and double negative media. Causality principle implies these properties. High frequency plane wave scattering from a double negative infinitely long cylinder has been analyzed by using modified Watson transform, geometrical optics and Mie s...
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.
