Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Defect Induced Anderson Localization and Magnetization in Graphene Quantum Dots(Elsevier, 2018) Altıntaş, Abdulmenaf; Güçlü, Alev DevrimWe theoretically investigate the effects of atomic defect related short-range disorders and electron-electron interactions on Anderson type localization and the magnetic properties of hexagonal armchair graphene quantum dots using an extended mean-field Hubbard model and wave packet dynamics for the calculation of localization lengths. We observe that randomly distributed defects with concentrations between 1 and 5% of the total number of atoms leads to localization alongside magnetic puddle-like structures. Although the localization lengths are not affected by interactions, staggered magnetism and localization are found to be enhanced if the defects are distributed unevenly between the sublattices of the honeycomb lattice.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Electron Field Emission From Sic Nanopillars Produced by Using Nanosphere Lithography(AVS Science and Technology Society, 2017) Yeşilpınar, Damla; Çelebi, CemField emitter arrays of silicon carbide based nanopillars with high emitter density were fabricated by using a combination of nanosphere lithography and inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching techniques. The electron field emission characteristics of the produced nanopillars with two different aspect ratios and geometries were investigated, and the obtained results were compared with each other. The authors found that unlike the samples containing low aspect ratio SiC nanopillars with blunt tip apex, the samples comprising high aspect ratio nanopillars with sharp tip apex generate greater emission currents under lower electric fields. The nanopillars with sharp tip apex produced field emission currents up to 240 μA/cm2 under 17.4 V/μm applied electric field, while the nanopillars with blunt tip apex produced an emission current of 70 μA/cm2. The electric fields required to obtain 10 μA/cm2 current density are found to be 9.1 and 7.2 V/μm for the nanopillars with blunt and sharp tip apex, respectively. Time dependent stability measurements yielded stable electron emission without any abrupt change in the respective current levels of both samples.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Spin-Spin Correlations of Magnetic Adatoms on Graphene(American Physical Society, 2015) Güçlü, Alev Devrim; Bulut, NejatWe study the interaction between two magnetic adatom impurities in graphene using the Anderson model. The two-impurity Anderson Hamiltonian is solved numerically by using the quantum Monte Carlo technique. We find that the interimpurity spin susceptibility is strongly enhanced at low temperatures, significantly diverging from the well-known Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida result which decays as R-3.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Sublattice Engineering and Voltage Control of Magnetism in Triangular Single and Bi-Layer Graphene Quantum Dots(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Güçlü, Alev Devrim; Potasz, P.; Hawrylak, PawelWhen a Dirac electron is confined to a triangular graphene quantum dot with zigzag edges, its low-energy spectrum collapses to a shell of degenerate states at the Fermi level leading to a magnetized edge. The shell degeneracy and the total magnetization are proportional to the edge size and can be made macroscopic. In this review, we start with a general discussion of magnetic properties of graphene structures and its relation to broken sublattice symmetry. Then, we discuss single electronic properties of single and bilayer triangular graphene quantum dots, focusing on the nature of edge states. Finally, we investigate the role of electronic correlations in determining the nature of ground state and excitation spectra of triangular graphene quantum dots as a function of dot size and filling fraction of the shell of zero-energy states. The interactions are treated by a combination of tight-binding, Hartree-Fock and configuration interaction methods. We show that the spin polarization of the triangular graphene quantum dots can be controlled through gating, i.e., by adding or removing electrons. In bilayer graphene dots, the relative filling of edge states in each layer and the magnetization can be tuned down to single localized spin using an external vertical electrical field.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Influence of Applied Current Density on the Nanostructural and Light Emitting Properties of N-Type Porous Silicon(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2015) Çetinel, A.; Artunç, N.; Şahin, Gündoğdu; Tarhan, EnverEffects of current density on nanostructure and light emitting properties of porous silicon (PS) samples were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), gravimetric method, Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. FE-SEM images have shown that below 60 mA/cm2, macropore and mesopore arrays, exhibiting rough morphology, are formed together, whose pore diameter, pore depth and porosity are about 265-760 nm, 58-63 μ m and 44-61%, respectively. However, PS samples prepared above 60 mA/cm2 display smooth and straight macropore arrays, with pore diameter ranging from 900-1250 nm, porosity of 61-80% and pore depth between 63-69 μm. Raman analyses have shown that when the current density is increased from 10 mA/cm2 to 100 mA/cm2, Raman peaks of PS samples shift to lower wavenumbers by comparison to crystalline silicon (c-Si). The highest Raman peak shift is found to be 3.2 cm-1 for PS sample, prepared at 90 mA/cm2, which has the smallest nanocrystallite size, about 5.2 nm. This sample also shows a pronounced PL, with the highest blue shifting, of about 12 nm. Nanocrystalline silicon, with the smallest nanocrystallite size, confirmed by our Raman analyses using microcrystal model (MCM), should be responsible for both the highest Raman peak shift and PL blue shift due to quantum confinement effect (QCE).Article Citation - WoS: 143Citation - Scopus: 164Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of Non-Crimp Glass Fiber Reinforced Layered Clay/Epoxy Nanocomposites(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Bozkurt, Emrah; Kaya, Elçin; Tanoğlu, MetinMechanical and thermal properties of non-crimp glass fiber reinforced clay/epoxy nanocomposites were investigated. Clay/epoxy nanocomposite systems were prepared to use as the matrix material for composite laminates. X-ray diffraction results obtained from natural and modified clays indicated that intergallery spacing of the layered clay increases with surface treatment. Tensile tests indicated that clay loading has minor effect on the tensile properties. Flexural properties of laminates were improved by clay addition due to the improved interface between glass fibers and epoxy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that the modified clay particles affected the glass transition temperatures (T g) of the nanocomposites. Incorporation of surface treated clay particles increased the dynamic mechanical properties of nanocomposite laminates. It was found that the flame resistance of composites was improved significantly by clay addition into the epoxy matrix.Article Citation - WoS: 195Optical Properties of Composites of Pmma and Surface-Modified Zincite Nanoparticles(American Chemical Society, 2007) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Koynov, Kaloian; Akbey, Ümit; Bubeck, Christoph; Park, Insun; Lieberwirth, Ingo; Wegner, GerhardLocate full-text(opens in a new window)|Full Text(opens in a new window)|View at Publisher| Export | Download | Add to List | More... Macromolecules Volume 40, Issue 4, 20 February 2007, Pages 1089-1100 Optical properties of composites of PMMA and surface-modified zincite nanoparticles (Article) Demir, M.M.a, Koynov, K.a, Akbey, Ü.a, Bubeck, C.a, Park, I.ab, Lieberwirth, I.a, Wegner, G.a a Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Ackermannweg 10, D-55128 Mainz, Germany b Seoul National University, School of Chemistry, Korea, South Korea View references (65) Abstract Composites that show visible light transmittance, UV absorption, and moderately high refractive index, based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and zinc oxide (zincite, ZnO) nanoparticles, were prepared in two steps. First, surface-modified ZnO nanoparticles with 22 nm average diameter were nucleated by controlled precipitation via acid-catalyzed esterification of zinc acetate dihydrate with pentan-1-ol. The surface of growing crystalline particles was modified with tert-butylphosphonic acid (tBuPO3H2) in situ by monolayer coverage. Particle size and graft density of -PO3H 2 on the particle surface were controlled by the amount of surfactant applied to the reaction solution. Second, the surface-modified particles were incorporated into PMMA by in-situ bulk polymerization. Free radical polymerization was carried out in the presence of these particles using AIBN as initiator. Volume fraction (0) of the particles was varied from 0.10 to 7.76% (0.5 to 30 wt %). Although the particles are homogeneously dispersed in monomer, segregation of the individual particles upon polymerization was observed. Optical constants of the films ca. 2.0 μm including absorption and scattering efficiencies, indices of refraction, and dispersion constants were determined. The absorption coefficient at 350 nm increases linearly with ZnO, obeying Beer's law at low particle contents. However, it levels off toward a value of about 5000 cm-1 and shows a negative deviation at high concentrations because of aggregation of the individual particles. Waveguide propagation loss coefficients of the composite films were examined by prism coupling. A steep increase of the loss coefficient was found with a slope of 52 dB cm-1 vol %-1 as the volume fraction of the particle increases. The refractive index of the composites depends linearly on volume fraction of ZnO and varies from 1.487 to 1.507 (φ = 7.76%) at 633 nm. The dispersion of refractive index was found to be consistent with Cauchy's formula.
