    Orthorhombic Cspbi3 Perovskites: Thickness-Dependent Structural, Optical and Vibrational Properties
    (Elsevier, 2020) Özen, Sercan; İyikanat, Fadıl; Özcan, Mehmet; Tekneci, Gülsüm Efsun; Eren, İsmail; Sözen, Yiğit; Şahin, Hasan
    Cesium lead halide perovskites have been subject to intense investigation, mostly because of their potential to be used in optoelectronic device applications. However, regarding the need for nanoscale materials in forthcoming nanotechnology applications, understanding of how the characteristic properties of these perovskite crystals are modified through dimensional crossover is essential. In this study, thickness-dependence of the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of orthorhombic CsPbI3, which is one of the most stable phase at room temperature, is investigated by means of state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. Our results show that (i) bilayers and monolayers of CsPbI3 can be stabilized in orthorhombic crystal symmetry, (ii) among; the possible ultra-thin perovskites only structures with CsI-terminated surface are dynamically stable (iii) electronic band gap increases with decrease in perovskite thickness due to quantum size effect and (iv) reflectivity and transmissivity of the orthorhombic CsPbI3 can be tuned by varying the thickness that modifies the electron confinement.

    ?-Silicene as Oxidation-Resistant Ultra-Thin Coating Material
    (Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2017) Kandemir, Ali; İyikanat, Fadıl; Bacaksız, Cihan; Şahin, Hasan
    By performing density functional theory (DFT)-based calculations, the performance of a-silicene as oxidation-resistant coating on Ag(111) surface is investigated. First of all, it is shown that the Ag(111) surface is quite reactive against O atoms and O2 molecules. It is known that when single-layer silicene is formed on the Ag(111) surface, the 3 × 3-reconstructed phase, a-silicene, is the ground state. Our investigation reveals that as a coating layer, a-silicene (i) strongly absorbs single O atoms and (ii) absorbs O2 molecules by breaking the strong O-O bond. (iii) Even the hollow sites, which are found to be most favorable penetration path for oxygens, serves as high-energy oxidation barrier, and (iv) α-silicene becomes more protective and less permeable in the presence of absorbed O atom. It appears that single-layer silicene is a quite promising material for ultra-thin oxidation-protective coating applications.

    Adsorption and Diffusion Characteristics of Lithium on Hydrogenated ?- and Ss-Silicene
    (Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2017) İyikanat, Fadıl; Kandemir, Ali; Bacaksız, Cihan; Şahin, Hasan
    Using 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.
