Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 25H-Aln Van Der Waals Bilayer Heterostructure: Tuning the Excitonic Characteristics(American Physical Society, 2017) Bacaksız, Cihan; Dominguez, A.; Rubio, A.; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Şahin, HasanMotivated by recent studies that reported the successful synthesis of monolayer Mg(OH)2 [Suslu, Sci. Rep. 6, 20525 (2016)2045-232210.1038/srep20525] and hexagonal (h-)AlN [Tsipas, Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 251605 (2013)APPLAB0003-695110.1063/1.4851239], we investigate structural, electronic, and optical properties of vertically stacked h-AlN and Mg(OH)2, through ab initio density-functional theory (DFT), many-body quasiparticle calculations within the GW approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE). It is obtained that the bilayer heterostructure prefers the AB′ stacking having direct band gap at the Γ with Type-II band alignment in which the valance band maximum and conduction band minimum originate from different layer. Regarding the optical properties, the imaginary part of the dielectric function of the individual layers and heterobilayer are investigated. The heterobilayer possesses excitonic peaks, which appear only after the construction of the heterobilayer. The lowest three exciton peaks are analyzed in detail by means of band decomposed charge density and the oscillator strength. Furthermore, the wave function calculation shows that the first peak of the heterobilayer originates from spatially indirect exciton where the electron and hole localized at h-AlN and Mg(OH)2, respectively, which is important for the light harvesting applications.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 45Mg(OH)2-WS2 van der Waals heterobilayer: Electric field tunable band-gap crossover(American Physical Society, 2016) Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Torun, Engin; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Peeters, François M.; Şahin, HasanMagnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] has a layered brucitelike structure in its bulk form and was recently isolated as a new member of two-dimensional monolayer materials. We investigated the electronic and optical properties of monolayer crystals of Mg(OH)2 and WS2 and their possible heterobilayer structure by means of first-principles calculations. It was found that both monolayers of Mg(OH)2 and WS2 are direct-gap semiconductors and these two monolayers form a typical van der Waals heterostructure with a weak interlayer interaction and a type-II band alignment with a staggered gap that spatially separates electrons and holes. We also showed that an out-of-plane electric field induces a transition from a staggered to a straddling-type heterojunction. Moreover, by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation on top of single-shot G0W0 calculations, we show that the low-energy spectrum of the heterobilayer is dominated by the intralyer excitons of the WS2 monolayer. Because of the staggered interfacial gap and the field-tunable energy-band structure, the Mg(OH)2-WS2 heterobilayer can become an important candidate for various optoelectronic device applications in nanoscale.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1A Simple Case of D (x 2- Y 2) Pairing: Hubbard Ladder(EDP Sciences, 2012) Bulut, NejatWe study the strength and the temperature scale of the d(x 2-y2) pairing correlations in the Hubbard model on a ladder lattice using Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. In particular, we present QMC results on the particle-particle interaction and the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the d(x2-y2)-wave BCS channel. These data show that there are strong d(x2-y2) pairing correlations in the Hubbard ladder for certain values of the model parameters. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2012.
