    Formation of a Very High-Density Amorphous Phase of Carbon and Its Crystallization into a Simple Cubic Structure at High Pressure
    (Elsevier B.V., 2021) Durandurdu, M.; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Durandurdu, Murat; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
    We report a direct computational evidence of a two-step transformation sequence for tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) with increasing pressure. First, ta-C gradually transforms into a very high-density amorphous phase (VHDA) phase. Second, the VDHA phase converts into a simple cubic (SC) crystal. The structural defects formed during the high-pressure treatment play important roles for the formation and stabilization of the SC structure, rather than favorable the SC4 crystal. These phase transformations are reversible. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    High Pressure Modifications in Amorphous Boron Suboxide: An Ab Initio Study
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Durandurdu, Murat; Durandurdu, Murat; 0000-0001-5636-3183; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
    Using constant pressure ab initio calculations, we probe the high-pressure modifications in amorphous boron suboxide (B6O) consisting of glassy boron trioxide (B2O3) and boron (B) domains up to a theoretical pressure of 100 GPa. At this pressure, the structure remains amorphous. We find a steady increase in the average coordination of both B and oxygen (O) atoms. O atoms mostly attain threefold coordination as in B2O3 glass at high pressures. On the other hand, the mean coordination number of B-atoms reaches six at high pressures and the structural changes in B-rich regions are perceived to be quite analogous to those of amorphous B. B-12 clusters are found to persevere during the pressurizing process and the high-pressure modifications occur predominantly around O-atoms and the regions that connect the pentagonal pyramid-like motifs to each other. Upon pressure release, some high-pressure configurations persist in the model and another noncrystalline structure being about 10% denser than the original state is recovered, suggesting a permanent densification and a possible irreversible amorphous-to-amorphous phase transformation in B6O. The recovered network shows slightly better mechanical properties than the uncompressed model. During the compression and decompression processes, amorphous B6O remains semiconducting. The delocalization of some band tail states is seen at high pressures.
