© 2021 Elsevier LtdIn this paper, three equiatomic quaternary Heusler compounds − FeVHfZ (Z = Al, Si, and Ge) − are investigated for their structural, magnetic, electronic, mechanic, and lattice dynamic properties under pressure effect. These compounds are optimized for under three structural types and three magnetic phases: β is the most stable structure with ferromagnetic phase. The electronic properties reveal that FeVHfAl is a half-metal, and that FeVHfSi and FeVHfGe are spin gapless semiconductors. In addition to electronic band structure, possible hybridization and partial density of states are presented. Furthermore, the mechanical properties are studied, and the three-dimensional direction-dependent mechanical properties are visualized under varying pressure effects. Our results reveal the half-metal and spin gapless semiconductor nature of the ferromagnetic FeVHfZ compounds, making them promising materials for spintronics applications.

Electronic, mechanical and lattice dynamical properties of YXB4 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) compounds CANDAN, ABDULLAH; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN; Gencer, Ayşenur (IOP Publishing, 2019-12-01) In this study, the physical such as structural, electronic, anisotropic elastic and lattice dynamic properties of YXB4 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) compounds have been investigated. The electronic properties including band structure and corresponding partial density of states for YXB4 have been calculated. YFeB4 and YCoB4 compounds are found to have metallic behavior while YCrB4 and YMnB4 have semiconductor behavior. Also, the compounds are found to be as non-magnetic materials. The calculated elastic constants ...
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...
Pressure dependence of the Raman frequencies for the translational mode in ammonia solid II Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2006-12-01) We study here the translational mode of the ammonia solid II near the melting point by calculating its Raman frequencies as a function of pressure for the fixed temperatures of 230.4, 263.4 and 297.5 K. We perform this calculation of the Raman frequencies using the volume data by means of our Gruneisen relation. The Raman frequency shifts as the volume changes with the pressure, exhibit an anomalous behaviour near the melting point in the ammonia solid II.
Stress evolution of Ge nanocrystals in dielectric matrices Bahariqushchi, Rahim; Raciti, Rosario; KASAPOGLU, Ahmet Emre; GÜR, Emre; Sezen, Meltem; Kalay, Yunus Eren; MIRABELLA, Salvatore; Aydınlı, Alptekin (2018-05-04) Germanium nanocrystals (Ge NCs) embedded in single and multilayer silicon oxide and silicon nitride matrices have been synthesized using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition followed by conventional furnace annealing or rapid thermal processing in N-2 ambient. Compositions of the films were determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The formation of NCs under suitable process conditions was observed with high resolution transmission electron microscope mi...
Electronic and lattice dynamical properties of Ti2SiB MAX phase Gencer, Ayşenur; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN (IOP Publishing, 2018-07-01) The structural, electronic, mechanic, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of Ti2SiB which is a hypothetical MAX phase compound, have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. The structural optimization of Ti2SiB has been performed and the results have been compared with Ti2SiC, Ti2SiN, and Ti2AlB that are studied in the literature. Then the band structure and corresponding partial density of states are computed. In addition, charge density and Bader charge analysis have been perf...
