An investigation of hydrogen bonded neutral B4Hn (n=1-11) and anionic B4H11(-1) clusters: Density functional study
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2007) Boyukata, Mustafa; Özdoğan, Cem; Ozdogan, Cem; Guvenc, Ziya B.; 120207
In this study, detailed analysis of the structural stability of hydrogen bonded four-atom boron clusters within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) is presented. Effects of the number of hydrogen atoms on the structural stability of 134, binding energy of the clusters, and also on the boron-hydrogen binding energy are investigated. Attention is also paid to the determination of energetically the most stable geometries of B4Hn (n = 1-11) boron hydrides, and to their isomers. The lower-lying electronic states of the B4Hn structures are investigated. In addition natural electron configurations of the most stable clusters and charge transfer between the atoms in the cluster are also analyzed. Furthermore, the stability of anionic form of B4H11(-1) cluster is examined. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Density functional study of AlBn clusters for n=1-14
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2011) Boyukata, Mustafa; Guvenc, Ziya B.
Density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP at 6-311++G(d,p) level is employed to optimize the structures of AlBn (n = 1-14) microclusters. Analysis of the energetic and structural stability of these clusters and their various isomers are presented. Total and binding energies of the clusters have been calculated. Their harmonic frequencies, point symmetries, and the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) energy gaps have been determined. Results are evaluated by comparing to the previous similar works. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Dft Study of Al Doped Cage B12hn Clusters
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Boyukata, Mustafa; Guvenc, Ziya B.
Density Functional Theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311++g** level has been performed to investigate the electronic structures of cage B12Hn for up to n <= 12 and AlB12Hn for up to n <= 13. Moreover, the computations has been extended to the charged clusters of [B12H12](q), [AlB12H12](q) and [AlB12H13](q) where (q = +/- 1 and +/- 2). Their energetics are calculated and structural analysis have been carried out. Cage form of the B-12 remains stable against to hydrogen adsorptions.
