NH3 detection, monitoring methods, and detection tools are desperately needed. In this work, we improved the NH3 sensing capabilities of grapheme (GP) films deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) by modifying aromatic self-assembled monolayer (SAM) molecules such as 5-[(3-methylphenyl) (phenyl) amino] isophthalic acid (MeIPA) and 5-(diphenyl)amino] isophthalic acid (PhIPA) on amperometric detection method. Morphological investigations of the films were carried out by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface potential was characterized with Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), and vibrational properties were characterized with Raman spectroscopy. MeIPA modification increased NH3 uptake by two times compared to unmodified GP. The results indicated that the SAM modification enhanced NH3 molecule adsorption and improved its periodic reversible and reproducible response using the amperometric detection system, indicating that SAM molecules might be a feasible probe for NH3. © 2001-2012 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 33Ballistic Thermoelectric Transport Properties of Two-Dimensional Group Iii-Vi Monolayers(American Physical Society, 2021) Çınar, Mustafa Neşet; Özbal Sargın, Gözde; Sevim, Koray; Özdamar, Burak; Kurt, Gizem; Sevinçli, HaldunBallistic transport and thermoelectric properties of group III-VI compounds (XY: X = B, Al, Ga, In, Tl; Y = O, S, Se, Te, Po) are investigated based on first-principles calculations and Landauer formalism. This large family is composed of 25 compounds which stands out with their unique electronic band structures. Mexican hat shaped valence band, which exhibits quartic energy-momentum relation gives rise to a sharp peak in the density of states as well as a steplike electronic transmission spectrum near the valence band edge. The intriguing electronic band structure and transport properties motivate us to explore thermoelectric properties of group III-VI monolayers. We find that, in addition to the stepwise transmission at the band edge, flat bands, valley degeneracy, and band degeneracy are the factors that enhance thermoelectric efficiencies. For heavier compounds, better thermoelectric efficiencies are possible for both n-type and p-type carriers.Article Citation - WoS: 89Citation - Scopus: 85Cspbbr3 Perovskites: Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on Water-Assisted Transition From Nanowire Formation To Degradation(American Physical Society, 2018) Akbalı, Barış; Topçu, Gökhan; Güner, Tuğrul; Özcan, Mehmet; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanRecent advances in colloidal synthesis methods have led to an increased research focus on halide perovskites. Due to the highly ionic crystal structure of perovskite materials, a stability issue pops up, especially against polar solvents such as water. In this study, we investigate water-driven structural evolution of CsPbBr3 by performing experiments and state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. It is seen that while an optical image shows the gradual degradation of the yellowish CsPbBr3 structure under daylight, UV illumination reveals that the degradation of crystals takes place in two steps: transition from a blue-emitting to green-emitting structure and and then a transition from a green-emitting phase to complete degradation. We found that as-synthesized CsPbBr3 nanowires (NWs) emit blue light under a 254 nm UV source. Before the degradation, first, CsPbBr3 NWs undergo a water-driven structural transition to form large bundles. It is also seen that formation of such bundles provides longer-term environmental stability. In addition theoretical calculations revealed the strength of the interaction of water molecules with ligands and surfaces of CsPbBr3 and provide an atomistic-level explanation to a transition from ligand-covered NWs to bundle formation. Further interaction of green-light-emitting bundles with water causes complete degradation of CsPbBr3 and the photoluminescence signal is entirely quenched. Moreover, Raman and x-ray-diffraction measurements revealed that completely degraded regions are decomposed to PbBr2 and CsBr precursors. We believe that the findings of this study may provide further insight into the degradation mechanism of CsPbBr3 perovskite by water.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Monitoring the Crystal Orientation of Black-Arsenic Via Vibrational Spectra(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019) Kandemir, Ali; İyikanat, Fadıl; Şahin, HasanIn this study, the structural, mechanical, and vibrational properties of a recently discovered anisotropic ultra-thin material, black-arsenic (b-As), are investigated by using density functional theory. Direction dependent elastic constants such as in-plane stiffness, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of single-layer b-As are calculated and compared with those of the structural cousin black-phosphorus (b-P). The calculated Poisson's ratio of b-As for the zigzag direction is nearly 1, which is quite higher than that of b-P, 0.65. Besides, it is found that all the three elastic constants are highly anisotropic and their values in the zigzag direction are almost three times higher than that of the armchair direction. The mechanical strength of the material is also calculated and high-toughness is seen in both armchair and zigzag directions. It is revealed that the material is quite stiff against straining along the zigzag direction; in contrast, it is quite flexible along the armchair direction. Vibrational stability analysis shows that the material is stable up to 9% biaxially applied strain, and 12% and 45% uniaxially applied strain in the zigzag and armchair directions, respectively. Furthermore, the prominent Raman active peaks of the b-As structure show strong anisotropy in the strain dependent vibrational spectra and they can also be used for easy-determination of the crystal orientation of b-As from Raman measurements.Conference Object Reversible Energy Transfer Between a Single Defect in Hbn and Graphene(OSA - The Optical Society, 2019) Özçeri, Elif; Arı, Ozan; Balcı, Sinan; Kocabaş, Coşkun; Ateş, SerkanWe present a reversible energy transfer between a single defect in hBN and graphene. Dynamic control of Fermi level of graphene results in switching on and off single photon emission from a single quantum emitter. © OSA 2019 © 2019 The Author(s)
