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.

H(D) -> D(H)+Cu(111) collision system: Molecular dynamics study of surface temperature effects
(Amer inst Physics, 2011) Vurdu, Can D.; Guvenc, Ziya B.
All the channels of the reaction dynamics of gas-phase H (or D) atoms with D (or H) atoms adsorbed onto a Cu(111) surface have been studied by quasiclassical constant energy molecular dynamics simulations. The surface is flexible and is prepared at different temperature values, such as 30 K, 94 K, and 160 K. The adsorbates were distributed randomly on the surface to create 0.18 ML, 0.28 ML, and 0.50 ML of coverages. The multi-layer slab is mimicked by a many-body embedded-atom potential energy function. The slab atoms can move according to the exerted external forces. Treating the slab atoms non-rigid has an important effect on the dynamics of the projectile atom and adsorbates. Significant energy transfer from the projectile atom to the surface lattice atoms takes place especially during the first impact that modifies significantly the details of the dynamics of the collisions. Effects of the different temperatures of the slab are investigated in this study. Interaction between the surface atoms and the adsorbates is modeled by a modified London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato (LEPS) function. The LEPS parameters are determined by using the total energy values which were calculated by a density functional theory and a generalized gradient approximation for an exchange-correlation energy for many different orientations, and locations of one-and two-hydrogen atoms on the Cu(111) surface. The rms value of the fitting procedure is about 0.16 eV. Many different channels of the processes on the surface have been examined, such as inelastic reflection of the incident hydrogen, subsurface penetration of the incident projectile and adsorbates, sticking of the incident atom on the surface. In addition, hot-atom and Eley-Rideal direct processes are investigated. The hot-atom process is found to be more significant than the Eley-Rideal process. Furthermore, the rate of subsurface penetration is larger than the sticking rate on the surface. In addition, these results are compared and analyzed as a function of the surface temperatures.

Synthesis, molecular structure and DFT study of 2-(N-Benzoylbenzamido)pyridine-3-yl benzoate
(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2011) Yuksektepe, Cigdem; Özdoğan, Cem; Kazak, Canan; Ozdogan, Cem; Guvenc, Ziya B.; Buyukgungor, Orhan; Arslan, Figen; Odabasoglu, Mustafa; 42359; 22620; 4292; 49272; 13249
The biologically important 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine reacts with benzoyl chloride to give 2-(N-benzoylbenzamido)pyridine-3-yl benzoate. This synthesized compound has been studied by elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography and also theoretically by density functional theory (DFT) framework with B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) level of theory. The molecules of this compound crystallize in the orthorhombic space group of P2(1)2(1)2(1) and the crystal packing involves both hydrogen-bonding and C-Ha <-pi interaction. The vibrational normal modes of the molecular structure are investigated by ab initio method for both infrared intensities (IR) and for Raman activities. Furthermore, the corresponding assignments are discussed. Hydrogen and carbon atoms of the benzene rings are found to be highly active. Also, experimentally obtained IR spectrum is presented and compared with the available theoretical data. Experimentally and theoretically obtained IR spectrum are in good agreement.
