    Nitrogen Doping for Facile and Effective Modification of Graphene Surfaces
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Yanılmaz, Alper; Tomak, Aysel; Selamet, Yusuf; Bacaksız, Cihan; Özçeri, Elif; Arı, Ozan; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Selamet, Yusuf; Tomak, Aysel; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; 03.01.

    We report experimental and theoretical investigations of nitrogen doped graphene. A low-pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) system was used to grow large-area graphene on copper foil, using ethylene as the carbon source. Nitrogen-doped graphene (N-graphene) was prepared by exposing the graphene transferred to different substrates to atomic nitrogen plasma. The effect of varying nitrogen flow rates on doping of graphene was investigated while keeping the power and time constant during the process. The N-graphene was characterized via Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM and STS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Raman mapping of N-graphene was also performed to show homogeneity of nitrogen on the graphitic lattice. XPS results have revealed the presence of different nitrogen configurations in the graphitic lattice with similar doping concentrations. Density functional theory (DFT) based calculations showed that the periodic adsorption of N atoms predominantly occurs on top of the C atoms rather than through substitution of C in our N-graphene samples. Our results indicate a feasible procedure for producing N-graphene with homogenous and effective doping which would be valuable in electronic and optical applications.

    Cleavage Induced Rows of Missing Atoms on Znte (110) Surface
    (American Physical Society, 2013) Çelebi, Cem; Arı, Ozan; Arı, Ozan; Çelebi, Cem; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science
    Cleavage induced rows of linear vacancy structures on p-doped ZnTe (110) surface are studied at room temperature by using cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (X-STM). The oscillating contrast superimposed on the Te-driven occupied states neighboring to the vacancy cores are characterized at the atomic scale in order to determine the type of the missing component on the ZnTe surface matrix. We identify three major intensity distributions associated with different vacancy states. The X-STM images of three possible configurations comprising Zn only, Te only, and ZnTe binary vacancy structures on the ZnTe surface are modeled by using ab initio density functional theory calculations. The comparison of the X-STM measurements of each individual vacancy state to the corresponding theoretical simulation showed that unlike the Te vacancy, which leads to a local depression, the absence of Zn only or ZnTe binary gives rise to hillock features on the neighboring Te states of the ZnTe (110) cleaved surface. The theoretical STM images calculated for an undoped ZnTe crystal imply that possible doping-related effects on vacancy-induced features can be disregarded for interpreting the experimentally observed vacancy structures in our samples.
