Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2MgCu Metallic Glass(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017-12-10) Durandurdu, MuratWe generate an amorphous MgCu model using the rapid solidification of the melt through a first-principles molecular dynamics approach within a generalised gradient approximation and reveal, for the first time, its structural features and mechanical properties in details. The liquid and glassy MgCu are found to acquire slightly distinct local structures. Yet in both forms of MgCu, most Cu atoms have a tendency to form the ideal and defective icosahedrons while Mg atoms are arranged in complex configurations. The mean coordination number of Cu and Mg at 300 K is 11.31 and 13.73, respectively. The short-range order of MgCu glass is projected to be different than the known crystalline MgCu and Mg2Cu phases. The mechanical properties of MgCu glass and the CsCl-type MgCu crystal are computed and compared. On the basis of the enthalpy analyses, a possible pressure-induced crystallisation of the MgCu glass into a CsCl-type structure is proposed to occur at around 11 GPa.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Ferromagnetism in Amorphous MgO(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017-05-10) Durandurdu, MuratWe report, for the first time, the atomic structure of amorphous MgO based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. We find that its main building blocks are four-fold and five-fold coordinated configurations, similar to those formed in the liquid state. Its average coordination is estimated to beabout 4.36. The amorphous form having a perfect stoichiometry has a band gap energy of 2.4eV. On the other hand, Mg vacancies induce an insulator to metal transition and ferromagnetism in amorphous MgO whilst O vacancies do not cause such a transition, implying that the magnetism in amorphous MgO is related to the non-stoichiometry and Mg vacancies. With the application of pressure, the stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric (Mg vacancies) models undergo a phase transformation into a rocksalt state, suggesting that the electronic structure of the initial configurations has no influence on the resulting high-pressure phase in amorphous MgO.Article Citation - WoS: 1Amorphous to Amorphous Phase Transformation in Boron-Rich Amorphous Silicon Borides: An Ab Initio Study(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024-05-24) Karacaoglan, Aysegul Ozlem Cetin; Durandurdu, MuratThis study employs a constant-pressure ab initio approach to investigate the high-pressure behavior of five distinct boron-rich amorphous silicon borides. A unique amorphous-to-amorphous phase transition is exposed, providing insights into the structural resilience of these materials under extreme conditions. Our results reveal a gradual increase in the coordination number of both B and Si atoms under pressure, with subsequent densification upon pressure release. Yet the recovered amorphous phases closely resemble the uncompressed states, highlighting the reversibility of these phase changes. Significant structural modifications around Si atoms are observed, emphasizing their pivotal role in the observed phase transitions. Additionally, pressure-induced metallization is witnessed in these materials, indicating their distinctive electronic behavior under high pressure. This work significantly contributes to a deeper understanding of the high-pressure behavior of boron-rich amorphous silicon borides and opens avenues for exploring their potential applications in fields requiring exceptional structural stability and unique pressure-dependent properties.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Amorphous Boron Nitride at High Pressure(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-05-18) Durandurdu, MuratThe pressure-induced phase transformation in hexagonal boron nitrite and amorphous boron nitrite is studied using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The hexagonal-to-wurtzite phase transformation is successfully reproduced in the simulation with a transformation mechanism similar to one suggested in experiment. Amorphous boron nitrite, on the other hand, gradually transforms to a high-density amorphous phase with the application of pressure. This phase transformation is irreversible because a densified amorphous state having both sp(3) and sp(2) bonds is recovered upon pressure release. The high-density amorphous state mainly consists of sp(3) bonds and its local structure is quite similar to recently proposed intermediate boron nitrite phases, in particular tetragonal structure (P4(2)/mnm), rather than the known the wurtzite or cubic boron nitrite due to the existence of four membered rings and edge sharing connectivity. On the basis of this finding we propose that amorphous boron nitrite might be best candidate as a starting structure to synthesize the intermediate phase(s) at high pressure and temperature (probably below 800 degrees C) conditions.
