    Indirect Exchange Interaction in Two-Dimensional Materials With Quartic Dispersion
    (American Physical Society, 2022) Canbolat, Ahmet Utku; Sevinçli, Haldun; Çakır, Özgür
    We investigate the indirect magnetic exchange interaction between two magnetic moments in a two-dimensional semiconductor with quartic dispersion, featuring a singularity at the band edge. We obtain the Green's functions analytically to calculate the magnetic exchange interaction at zero temperature. We show that the singularity in the density of states (DOS) for quartic dispersion gives rise to an enhancement in the amplitude of the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction as the Fermi energy is swept toward the band edge. Furthermore, a region of finite exchange interaction arises, with a range increasing as the Fermi energy approaches the band edge. The results lay the possibility of an electrical/chemical control over the exchange interactions.

    Anisotropic Etching of Cvd Grown Graphene for Ammonia Sensing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Bayram, Abdullah; Aydın, Hasan; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Açıkbaş, Yaser; Peeters, François M.; Çelebi, Cem
    Bare chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene (GRP) was anisotropically etched with various etching parameters. The morphological and structural characterizations were carried out by optical microscopy and the vibrational properties substrates were obtained by Raman spectroscopy. The ammonia adsorption and desorption behavior of graphene-based sensors were recorded via quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements at room temperature. The etched samples for ambient NH3 exhibited nearly 35% improvement and showed high resistance to humidity molecules when compared to bare graphene. Besides exhibiting promising sensitivity to NH3 molecules, the etched graphene-based sensors were less affected by humidity. The experimental results were collaborated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and it was shown that while water molecules fragmented into H and O, NH3 interacts weakly with EGPR2 sample which reveals the enhanced sensing ability of EGPR2. Apparently, it would be more suitable to use EGRP2 in sensing applications due to its sensitivity to NH3 molecules, its stability, and its resistance to H2O molecules in humid ambient.
