Collisionless fragmentation of non-rotating Ni-n (n=4-14) clusters: a molecular dynamics study
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2003) Avci, H; Çivi, M; Güvenç, ZB; Jellinek, J
Collisionless fragmentation of non-rotating Ni-n (n = 4-14) clusters is studied using micro-canonical molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations. The clusters are modelled by an embedded-atom potential energy surface. The distributions of the channel-specific fragmentation probabilities, and the global and channel-specific fragmentation rate constants are computed and analysed as functions of the internal energy and size of the clusters. The trends derived from the dynamical calculations are compared to the fragmentation energy patterns, those of the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel (RRK) and statistical approaches. The rate constants are an order of magnitude smaller for the RRK model than with both the MD and transition-state theory approaches. The results are also compared with the other multi-channel fragmentation works.

Dynamics of the D(2)+Ni(100) collision system: Analysis of the reactive and inelastic channels
(Wiley-blackwell, 2001) Böyükata, M; Güvenç, ZB; Jackson, B; Jellinek, J
The reactive and scattering channels of the D(2)(v, j) + Ni(100) collision system are studied using quasiclassical molecular dynamics simulations. The interaction between the D(2) and the atoms of the surface is modeled by a LEPS (London-Eyring-Polani-Sato) potential energy function. The molecule is aimed at three different impact sites (atop, bridge, and center) of a rigid Ni(100) surface along the normal direction with various collision energies less than or equal to1.0 eV. Dissociative chemisorption probabilities are computed for different rotational states of the molecule. Probability distributions of the final rovibrational states of the ground-state Dp molecule scattered from those impact sites are also computed as a function of the collision energy. Higher collision energy results in excitation of higher rotational and/or vibrational states of the scattered molecule. At collision energies below 0.1 eV an indirect dissociation mechanism (through molecular adsorption) dominates the reaction. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Reaction dynamics of Ni(n) (n=19 and 20) with D(2): Dependence on cluster size, temperature and initial rovibrational states of the molecule
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2005) Böyükata, M; Güvenç, ZB; Özçelik, S; Durmus, P; Jellinek, J
The Ni(n)(n = 19, 20) + D2(v, j) collision systems have been studied to investigate the dependence of cluster reactivity on the cluster temperature and the initial rovibrational states of the molecule using quasiclassical molecular dynamics simulations. The clusters are described by an embedded atom potential, whereas the interaction between the molecule and the cluster is modeled by a LEPS (London-Eyring-Polani-Sato) potential energy function. Reaction (dissociative adsorption) cross-sections are computed as functions of the collision energy for different initial rovibrational states of the molecule and for different temperatures of the clusters. Rovibrational, temperature and size-dependent rate constants are also presented, and the results are compared with earlier studies. Initial vibrational excitation of the molecule increases the reaction cross-section more efficiently than the initial rotational excitation. The reaction cross-sections strongly depend on the collision energies below 0.1 eV.

Reactions of small Ni clusters with a diatomic molecule: MD simulation of D(2)+Ni(n) (n=7-10) systems
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2000) Durmus, P; Böyükata, M; Özçelik, S; Güvenç, ZB; Jellinek, J
The kinetics of the reactions of nickel clusters with a deuterium molecule are studied, Dissociative chemisorption probabilities of the D(2) molecule on the small Ni(n) (n=7-10) clusters are computed by a quasi-classical molecular dynamics computer simulation technique. Structures of the clusters are obtained by an embedded-atom potential, and the interaction between the D(2) and Ni(n) is modelled by an LEPS (London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato) function (energy surface). This analysis includes the chemisorption probabilities as functions of the impact parameter and of the relative translational energy of the D(2). The corresponding reactive cross-sections for the ground state of the molecule are calculated as functions of the collision energy and the size of the cluster. The role of the size of the clusters is examined. An indirect mechanism to the reaction, which involves formation of molecular adsorption as precursors to dissociative adsorption in the low collision energy region (less than 0.1eV), is observed. Results are discussed by comparing with the other similar theoretical and experimental studies. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Reactivity of the Ni(n)(T) (n=54,55,56) clusters with D(2)(v,j) molecule: molecular dynamics simulations
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2004) Özçelik, S; Güvenç, ZB; Durmus, P; Jellinek, J
The reactive channel of the D(2) (v, j) + Ni(n) (T) (n = 54, 55, 56) collision system is studied via quasiclassical molecular dynamics simulations. The cluster is described using an embedded-atom potential, and the interaction between the molecule and the cluster is modeled by a LEPS (London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato) potential energy function. Dissociative chemisorption probabilities are computed as functions of the impact parameter and the collision energy, and are used to evaluate the reaction cross-sections. Effects of the initial rovibrational states of the molecule and the temperatures of the clusters on the reactive channel are analyzed. Reaction rate constants are also computed and compared with those measured experimentally. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Structure and reactivity of Ni(n) (n=7-14, 19) clusters
(Wiley, 2001) Böyükata, M; Güvenç, ZB; Özçelik, S; Durmus, P; Jellinek, J
Results of a computer simulation study of Ni-n (n = 7-14, 19) clusters, their structures, energetics, and reactivity with a D-2 molecule are presented. The clusters are described by an embedded atom potential, whereas the interaction between the molecule and the clusters is modeled by an LEPS (London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato) potential energy function. The focus is on structures of the dusters and their reactive channels. The total numbers of stable isomers of the clusters are obtained by sampling their phase space, and the isomers' energy spectra are determined. On the reactive side, dissociative chemisorptions cross sections and decay-rate constants are calculated. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
