Theoretical Studies On The Configurations Of Benzhomobarrelene Derivatives, Rıza Abbasoğlu, Abdullah Menzek, Metin Balci Jan 1998

Theoretical Studies On The Configurations Of Benzhomobarrelene Derivatives, Rıza Abbasoğlu, Abdullah Menzek, Metin Balci

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Reaction of 7-carbomethoxy-cycloheptatriene with benzyne resulted in the formation of only one benzhomobarrelene isomer, {\bf 5A}. Theoretically, four addition products, {\bf 5A-D}, can be formed from this reaction. Certain molecular mechanic calculations (MM2 force field) have been undertaken on these isomers. It has been shown that the isomers {\bf 5A} and {\bf 5C} have the lowest energies. The non-existence of {\bf 5C} has been discussed in terms of a benzyne approach to a norcaradiene structure. Furthermore, MM2 calculations on two different conformers of {\bf 5A} have revealed that the bisected conformer {\bf 5AE} has the highest strain energy. However, AM1 …

Influence Of Growth Conditions, Inversion Domains, And Atomic Hydrogen On Growth Of (0001_) Gan By Molecular Beam Epitaxy, Michelle Richards-Babb Jan 1998

Influence Of Growth Conditions, Inversion Domains, And Atomic Hydrogen On Growth Of (0001_) Gan By Molecular Beam Epitaxy, Michelle Richards-Babb

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Growth of GaN by rf-plasma molecular beam epitaxy leads to different surface morphologiesfor nitrogen-stable growth versus gallium-stable growth. Nitrogen-stable growth produces a granular surface morphology with many samples having a significant density of pyramidal hillocks. In contrast, gallium-stable growth results in a flat surface morphology. The hillocks were directly linked to the presence of inversion domains which originated in the nucleationlayer. Nitrogen-stable growth and growth under atomic hydrogen enhanced the growth rate of inversion domains with respect to the surrounding matrix, while growth under Ga-stable conditions resulted in a more nearly equal growth rate. Evidence is presented suggesting that hydrogen …
