Here we present a structural study of pentacene thin films on flat and vicinal Au(111) surfaces by He atom diffraction measurements and dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Though experimentally investigated parameter space was limited, no significant difference between the films prepared by different deposition energies was observed. Completion of monolayer coverage was confirmed by simultaneous helium scattering and quartz crystal resonance frequency shift measurements during pentacene film growth on the gold electrode of a quartz resonator. Monolayer films were found to adopt a (6x3) unit cell which was also observed for pentacene monolayers on Ag(1 1 1). However no ordered multilayer film structure could be observed which is in contrast with the previous Ag(1 1 1) studies. DFT calculations were performed with and without dispersion correction. Adsorption site of isolated pentacene molecules, crystal and electronic structure of monolayers and multilayers (up to 4 ML) were studied. The most stable monolayer structure was found to be the (6x3) unit cell in agreement with the experimental findings.

Influence of Steps on the Tilting and Adsorption Dynamics of Ordered Pentacene Films on Vicinal Ag(111) Surfaces METE, ERSEN; Demiroglu, I.; Albayrak, E.; Bracco, G.; Elliatioglu, S.; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (2012-09-13) Here we present a structural study of pentacene (Pn) thin films on vicinal Ag(111) surfaces by He atom diffraction measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations supplemented with van der Waals (vdW) interactions. Our He atom diffraction results suggest initial adsorption at the step edges evidenced by initial slow specular reflection intensity decay rate as a function of Pn deposition time. In parallel with the experimental findings, our DFT+vdW calculations predict the step edges as the mos...
Pentacene Multilayers on Ag(111) Surface METE, ERSEN; Demiroglu, Ilker; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih; Ellialtioglu, Sinasi (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-02-18) The structural profiles and electronic properties of pentacene (C22H14) multilayers on Ag(111) surface has been studied within the density functional theory framework. We have performed first-principle total energy calculations based on the projector-augmented wave method to investigate the initial growth patterns of pentacene (Pn) on Ag(111) surface. In its bulk phase, pentacene crystallizes with a triclinic symmetry while a thin film phase having an orthorhombic unit cell is energetically less favorable b...
Dispersion Corrected DFT Study of Pentacene Thin Films on Flat and Vicinal Au(111) Surfaces METE, ERSEN; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (2015-02-19) Here we present a density functional theory study of pentacene ultrathin films on flat and vicinal [(455)] Au(111) surfaces. We have performed crystal and electronic structure calculations by using PBE and optB86b-vdW functionals and investigated the effects of long-range van der Waals interactions for different coverages starting from a single isolated molecule up to 4 monolayers of coverage. For an isolated molecule both functionals yield the hollow site as the most stable one with the bridge-60 site bein...
Anisotropic elastic and vibrational properties of Ru2B3 and Os2B3: a first-principles investigation Ozisik, Haci; Deligoz, Engin; Sürücü, Gökhan; Ozisik, Havva Bogaz (2016-07-01) The structural, mechanical and lattice dynamical properties of Ru2B3 and Os2B3 have been investigated by using a first-principles method based on the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. The single crystal elastic constants are numerically estimated using strain-stress approach. The polycrystalline aggregate elastic parameters are calculated from the single elastic constants via the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximations. Subsequently, the ductility and brittleness are character...
Chemisorption of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane on Si(001)-(2 x 2) Demirel, G.; Cakmak, M.; Caykara, T.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (2007-10-18) The results of an ab initio calculation, based on pseudopotentials and the density functional theory, for the atomic and electronic structures of the chemisorption of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTS) on the Si(001)-(2 x 2) surface are presented. Two possible models for the chemisorption location of the APTS molecule are considered on the hydroxylated Si(001)-(2 x 2) surface: (i) an above-pedestal position (intra-row) between adjacent Si dimers and (ii) an above-hollow position. The first case is found t...
