Department of Photonics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyUsing first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate adsorption properties and the diffusion mechanism of a Li atom on hydrogenated single-layer α- and β-silicene on a Ag(111) surface. It is found that a Li atom binds strongly on the surfaces of both α- and β-silicene, and it forms an ionic bond through the transfer of charge from the adsorbed atom to the surface. The binding energies of a Li atom on these surfaces are very similar. However, the diffusion barrier of a Li atom on H-α-Si is much higher than that on H-β-Si. The energy surface calculations show that a Li atom does not prefer to bind in the vicinity of the hydrogenated upper-Si atoms. Strong interaction between Li atoms and hydrogenated silicene phases and low diffusion barriers show that α- and β-silicene are promising platforms for Li-storage applications.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 29Thermal Stability of the High-N Solid-Solution Layer on Stainless Steel(Elsevier Ltd., 2002) Öztürk, Orhan; Öztürk, Orhan; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyLow-energy, high-flux N ion implantation into austenitic stainless steel held at approximately 400 °C results in dramatic improvements in the tribological properties due to sufficiently large N layer thicknesses and high-N-content solid solution phase. γN. In this paper, post-ion beam processing via isothermal annealing of a low-energy (0.7 keV), high-flux (2.5 mA/cm2) N implanted fee 304 stainless steel held at 400 °C has been investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Post-implantation annealing at 400 °C demonstrated the metastability and showed that the magnetic γN produced at lower ion energies and higher fluxes transformed systematically to a paramagnetic γN phase with less N content and less lattice expansion, thereby destabilizing the magnetic state of γN. The isothermal annealing results in much thicker γN layers but with less N in solid solution due to the N diffusion into the substrate. Based on the XRD data, the N diffusivity under isothermal annealing conditions is found to be D = 2X10-13 cm2/s at 400 °C, consistent with a model which explains that the trapping by Cr atoms in the stainless steel becomes more effective when N contents are low relative to the Cr concentration ( ~ 19 at.% in 304 stainless steel).
