In this paper, the hydrogen storage properties of the Li-decorated stable Hf2CF2MXene layer, obtained by the exfoliation of Al from Hf2AlC and F-termination, are considered by using first-principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory. First, the stability characteristics of the host structure (Hf2CF2layer) are examined by investigating bulk Hf2AlC. To enhance the adsorbed number of H2molecules, the well-defined initial H2coordinates are constructed by CLICH (Cap-Like Initial Conditions for Hydrogens) and Monte Carlo-based algorithms. After the geometry optimizations of the designed H2systems on the Li/Hf2CF2layer, the adsorption energies of nH2/Li/Hf2CF2n=1-10, 15, 20 and 25 systems are calculated, and the suitable values (0.2-0.6 eV/H2) are obtained up to 15H2. For n=20 and 25 systems, which have adsorption energies of 0.15 eV/H2and 0.16 eV/H2, respectively. The structural properties and adsorption geometries of these molecules are analyzed. Additionally, the partial density of the states, electron density difference maps, and Mulliken atomic charges are presented to identify the actual binding mechanism of the systems. The results reveal that the Li-decorated Hf2CF2MXene layer can be preferred for the hydrogen storage applications due to its stable nature and the convenient adsorption characteristics.

Novel RDX-Based Cage and Cage-Like Nitramines Türker, Burhan Lemi; Bayar, Caglar Celik; Turhan, Hamza (Informa UK Limited, 2013-10-01) 1,3,5-Trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX)-based cage and cage-like nitramines in which two RDX molecules are linked to each other via three and two carbon atoms, respectively, have been investigated computationally using density functional theory (DFT) at a B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) theoretical level. The study focused on finding out how the quantum chemical and detonation properties of RDX change if two RDX molecules come together and form these structures. Both considered nitramines exhibited higher heats of for...
Investigation of cell migration and proliferation in agarose based hydrogels for tissue engineering applications Vardar, Elif; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2010) Hydrogels are three dimensional, insoluble, porous and crosslinked polymer networks. Due to their high water content, they have great resemblance to natural tissues, and therefore, demonstrate high biocompatibility. The porous structure provides an aqueous environment for the cells and also allows influx of nutrients needed for cellular viability. In this study, a natural biodegradable material, agarose (Aga), was used and semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPN) were prepared with polymers having differen...
Progressive structural and electronic properties of nano-structured carbon atomic chains Usanmaz, D.; Srivastava, G. P. (AIP Publishing, 2013-05-21) Ab initio calculations, based on the planewave pseudopotential method and the density functional theory, have been reported on the changes in the electronic and structural properties of short carbon atomic chains held rigidly between hydrogenated thin armchair graphene nanoribbons (N-a-AGNR) of dimer line numbers N-a = 4 and 5. We have considered chains of several lengths (n = 4-9 atoms) and with different forms of attachment with the AGNRs. It is found that odd-numbered chains are metallic in nature, with ...
Density functional theory study on the structural properties and energetics of Zn(m)Te(n) microclusters Pekoez, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-01) Density functional theory calculations with B3LYP exchange-correlation functional using CEP-121G basis set have been carried out in order to elucidate the structural properties and energetics of neutral zinc telluride clusters, Zn(m)Te(n)(m + n <= 6), in their ground states. The geometric structures, binding energies, vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities, Mulliken charges on atoms, HOMO and LUMO energies, the most possible dissociation channels and their corresponding energies for the clusters h...
Construction of phase diagrams to estimate phase transitions at high pressures: A critical point at the solid liquid transition for benzene Ibrahimoglu, Beycan; Üner, Deniz; Veziroglu, Ayfer; Karakaya, Fuat; Ibrahimoglu, Beycan (2021-04-01) Phase diagrams are an integral part of the estimation of material properties in the case of high temperature and pressure. The pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagram is used to determine the state of aggregation (solid, liquid, gaseous) of a substance under given conditions. This article presents a method to reveal new states in the phase diagram, including the possibility of the plasma state. Using the empirical data of benzene, a critical pressure beyond solid-liquid equilibrium was estimated. It is hig...
