Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 31Pressure-Induced Amorphization, Mechanical and Electronic Properties of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF-8)(Elsevier Science SA, 2020) Erkartal, Mustafa; Durandurdu, MuratAb initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations are carried out to probe the high-pressure behavior of ZIF-8 over wide pressure-range. Under compression, the enormous distortions in the ZnN4 tetrahedral units lead to a crystal-to-amorphous phase transition at around 3 GPa. During the amorphization process, the Zn-N coordination is retained. No other phase change but a possible fracture of the system is proposed above 10 GPa. Depending on released pressures, amorphous states with different densities are recovered. Yet when the applied pressure is released just before the amorphization, the rotations of imidazolate linkers (swing effect) cause an isostructural crystal-to-crystal phase transition, in agreement with experiments. In the tensile regime, no phase transition is perceived up to -2.75 GPa at which point the structural failure is observed. The crystal-amorphous phase transitions are also discovered at around 4 GPa under uniaxial compressions. The amorphous structures formed under uniaxial stress are about 20% denser than the one formed under the hydrostatic pressure. The average Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of ZIF-8 are estimated to be around 5.6 GPa and 0.4, respectively. Interestingly, the tensile strength of ZIF-8 is found to be about 50% greater than its compressive strength. This paper shows that the experimentally observed phase transitions can be successfully reproduced with a clear explanation about the transition mechanism(s) at the atomistic level and all mechanical properties can be accurately calculated for a given ZIF structure by using AIMD simulations.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Polyamorphism in Aluminum Nitride: A First Principles Molecular Dynamics Study(Wiley, 2016) Durandurdu, MuratThe high-pressure behavior of amorphous aluminum nitride is investigated for the first time by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. It is found to undergo two successive first-order phase transformations with the application of pressure. The first one is a polyamorphic phase transition in which the low-density amorphous phase transforms into a high-density amorphous phase having an average coordination number of about 4.6. The high-density amorphous structure transforms back to a low-coordinated amorphous network upon pressure release but its density is higher than that of the original low-density amorphous phase. The second phase change is the crystallization of the high-density amorphous state into a rocksalt structure. A careful analysis suggests that the hexagonal-like nanoclusters presented in amorphous aluminum nitride prevent the formation of a very dense amorphous phase (about sixfold coordinated) during the first phase transition and they act as a nucleation center for the crystallization process.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Ferromagnetism in Amorphous MgO(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) 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.Correction Amorphous Boron Carbide From Ab Initio Simulations(Elsevier, 2023) Yildiz, Tevhide Ayca; Durandurdu, MuratDoctoral Thesis Bor Esaslı Nano Yapıların Modellenmesi ve İncelenmesi(Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2022) Tahaoğlu, Duygu; Durandurdu, Murat; Alkan, FahriPolyhedral boron clusters and their applications have been subject to research in many fields such as medicine, materials science, catalytic applications, energy studies, etc. These molecules owe their popularity to their exceptional 3D stable structures, as well as their various sought-after properties in many applications. This doctoral thesis was prepared within the focus of a computational investigation of different polyhedral borane and carborane clusters by using DFT methods. The results of our studies were reported in two main chapters (Chapters 3 and 4). In the first part (Chapter 3), theoretical evaluation of relative stabilities and electronic structure for [BnXn]2− clusters were provided. The structural and electronic characteristics of [BnXn]2− clusters were examined by comparison with the [B12X12]2− counterparts with a focus on the substituent effects (X = H, F, Cl, Br, CN, BO, OH, NH2). The effects of the substituents were discussed in relation to their mesomeric (±M) and inductive (±I) effects. The results showed that the icosahedral barrier can be reduced through substitution by destabilizing the [B12X12]2−cluster with symmetry-reducing ligands or ligands with +M effects rather than stabilizing the larger clusters. In the second part (Chapter 4), the investigation of the photophysical properties of carborane-containing luminescent systems was presented. The o-CB-Anth system is known to exhibit a dual-emission property by radiating in the visible region from two low energy conformations with local excited (LE) and hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) characters, however, it shows a very low emission quantum yield in solution state similar to many other CB-luminescent systems. In this section, the excited-state potential energy surface (PES) of o-CB-Anth and o-CB-Pent were investigated in detail and the effect of a low-lying CT on the low quantum yield was discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Structural and Electronic Transformations of GeSe2 Glass Under High Pressures Studied by X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy(Natl Acad Sciences, 2024) Mijit, Emin; Durandurdu, Murat; Rodrigues, Joao Elias F. S.; Trapananti, Angela; Rezvani, S. Javad; Rosa, Angelika Dorothea; Di Cicco, AndreaPressure-induced transformations in an archetypal chalcogenide glass (GeSe2) have been investigated up to 157 GPa by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Ge and Se K-edge XAS data allowed simultaneous tracking of the correlated local structural and electronic changes at both Ge and Se sites. Thanks to the simultaneous analysis of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) signals of both edges, reliable quantitative information about the evolution of the first neighbor Ge-Se distribution could be obtained. It also allowed to account for contributions of the Ge-Ge and Se-Se bond distributions (chemical disorder). The low-density to high-density amorphous-amorphous transformation was found to occur within 10 to 30 GPa pressure range, but the conversion from tetrahedral to octahedral coordination of the Ge sites is completed above similar to 80 GPa. No convincing evidence of another high-density amorphous state with coordination number larger than six was found within the investigated pressure range. The number of short Ge-Ge and Se-Se "wrong" bonds was found to increase upon pressurization. Experimental XAS results are confirmed by MD simulations, indicating the increase of chemical disorder under high pressure.Article Densification-Induced Chemical Reorganization and Mechanical Enhancement in Amorphous Si2BC3N(Elsevier, 2026) Durandurdu, MuratThe atomistic mechanisms that govern the mechanical performance of amorphous silicon-boron carbonitride (SiBCN) ceramics remain insufficiently understood, particularly regarding the role of density. Here, we employ ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the structural evolution and mechanical response of low-density (LDA, 2.20 g/cm3) and high-density (HDA, 2.53 g/cm3) amorphous Si2BC3N prepared via melt-quench. The HDA phase exhibits markedly higher atomic packing and network connectivity, accompanied by a nontrivial chemical reorganization. Densification significantly enhances heteronuclear bonding-especially Si-C coordination-while suppressing C-C and Si-Si homopolar bonds. These changes yield substantial mechanical strengthening: the HDA phase exhibits a 48% increase in bulk modulus (130 GPa vs. 88 GPa), along with elevated Young's (266 GPa) and shear (112 GPa) moduli. Our findings reveal a clear density-structure-property relationship in amorphous SiBCN, demonstrating that densification suppresses weak self-bonded motifs and promotes a robust, interconnected atomic network. This insight provides a pathway for designing high-performance amorphous SiBCN ceramics for extreme-environment applications.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Tetrahedral Amorphous Boron Nitride: A Hard Material(Wiley, 2020) Durandurdu, MuratWe generate a tetrahedrally coordinated amorphous boron nitride (BN) model by means of first principles molecular dynamics calculations and report its mechanical and electrical properties in detail. The amorphous configuration is almost free from chemical disorder and consists of about 20% coordination defects, similar to tetrahedral (diamond-like) amorphous carbon. Its theoretical band gap energy is about 2.0 eV, less than 4.85 eV estimated for cubic BN. The bulk modulus and Vickers hardness of tetrahedral amorphous BN are computed as 206 GPa and 28-35 GPa, respectively. Based on these findings, we propose that tetrahedral noncrystalline BN can serve as electronic and hard materials as well.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2MgCu Metallic Glass(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) 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: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Amorphous Boron Suboxide(Wiley, 2019) Durandurdu, MuratWe study the atomic structure and the electronic and mechanical properties of amorphous boron suboxide (B6O) using an ab initio molecular dynamic technique. The amorphous network is attained from the rapid solidification of the melt and found to consist of boron and oxygen-rich regions. In the boron-rich regions, boron atoms form mostly perfect or imperfect pentagonal pyramid-like configurations that normally yield the construction of ideal and incomplete B-12 molecules in the model. In addition to the B-12 molecules, we also observe the development of a pentagonal bipyramid (B-7) molecule in the noncrystalline structure. In the oxygen-rich regions, on the other hand, boron and oxygen atoms form threefold and twofold coordinated motifs, respectively. The boron-rich and oxygen-rich regions indeed represent structurally the characteristic of amorphous boron and boron trioxide (B2O3). The amorphous phase possesses a small band gap energy with respect to the crystal. On the bases of the localization of the tail states, we suggest that the p-type doping might be more convenient than the n-type doping in amorphous B6O. Bulk modulus and Vickers hardness of the noncrystalline configuration is estimated are be 106 and 13-18 GPa, respectively, which are noticeably less than those of the crystalline structure. Such a noticeable decrease in the mechanical properties is attributed to the presence of open structured B2O3 glassy domains in the amorphous model.
