To understand the properties of polyaniline (PANI), aim gas, and the interaction between them in PANI-based gas sensors and help us to design sensors with better properties, direct calculations with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were done in this work. Polyamide 6/polyaniline (PA6/PANI) nanofiber ammonia gas sensors were studied as an example here, and the structural, morphological, and ammonia sensing properties (to 50-250 ppm ammonia) of PA6/PANI nanofibers were tested and evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and a homemade test system. The PA6/PANI nanofibers were prepared by in situ polymerization of aniline with electrospun PA6 nanofibers as templates and hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a doping agent for PANI, and the sensors show rapid response, ideal selectivity, and acceptable repeatability. Then, complementary molecular dynamics simulations were performed to understand how ammonia molecules interact with HCl-doped PANI chains, thus providing insights into the molecular-level details of the ammonia sensing performances of this system. Results of the radial distribution functions and mean square displacement analysis of the MD simulations were consistent with the dedoping mechanism of the PANI chains.

Organic/Organic Heterointerface Engineering to Boost Carrier Injection in OLEDs Fathollahi, Mohammadreza; Ameri, Mohsen; Mohajerani, Ezeddin; Mehrparvar, Ebrahim; Babaei, Mohammadrasoul (2017-02-01) We investigate dynamic formation of nanosheet charge accumulations by heterointerface engineering in double injection layer (DIL) based organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Our experimental results show that the device performance is considerably improved for the DIL device as the result of heterointerface injection layer (HIIL) formation, in comparison to reference devices, namely, the current density is doubled and even quadrupled and the turn-on voltage is favorably halved, to 3.7 V, which is promising...
Cobalt Oxide Nanoflakes on Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Thin Films for Supercapacitor Electrodes Durukan, Mete Batuhan; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2016-12-20) We demonstrate a simple and cost-effective approach for the fabrication of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoflakes on single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films for supercapacitor electrodes. SWNT thin films are prepared by vacuum filtration and consecutive stamping method onto which cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)(2)) nanoflakes are electrodeposited and annealed to obtain Co3O4. A gravimetric capacitance of 313.9 F.g(-1), corresponding to an areal specific capacitance of 70.5 mF.cm(-2) is obtained from the fabricate...
Segregation formation, thermal and electronic properties of ternary cubic CdZnTe clusters: MD simulations and DFT calculations KURBAN, MUSTAFA; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2017-04-01) Surface and core formation, thermal and electronic properties of ternary cubic CdZnTe clusters are investigated by using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT.) calculations. In this work, MD simulations of the CdZnTe clusters are performed by means of LAMMPS by using bond order potential (BOP). MD simulations are carried out at different temperatures to study the segregation phenomena of Cd, Zn and Te atoms, and deviation of clusters and heat capacity. After that,...
Liquid properties of Pd-Ni alloys Kart, SO; Tomak, Mehmet; Uludogan, M; Cagin, T (2004-07-01) Liquid properties of Pd-Ni metal alloys are computed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with the use of quantum SuttonChen potential (Q-SC) model. The thermodynamical, structural, and transport properties of the alloy are investigated. The melting temperatures for Pd-Ni system are predicted. The temperature and concentration dependence of diffusion coefficient and viscosity are reported. The transferability of the potential is tested by simulating the liquid state. The values of melting point are in exce...
Solid and liquid properties of Pd-Ni metal alloys using quantum Sutton-Chen many-body potential Kart, SO; Uludogan, M; Cagin, T; Tomak, Mehmet (2003-09-12) The performance of the quantum Sutton-Chen many body potential on the solid and liquid properties of Pd-Ni fcc transition metal alloys is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Elastic constants, phonon dispersion relations and diffusion coefficients are studied. The melting temperatures of Pd-Ni alloys are predicted. The transferability of the potential is also tested by simulating the liquid state. Comparison of the molecular dynamics results with available experimental data shows that the quantu...
