Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this work, ab initio calculations based on density functional theory and the Landauer formalism are carried out to investigate ballistic thermoelectric properties of T-HfSe2 nanoribbons (NRs). The zigzag-edged NRs are metallic, and they are not included in this study. The armchair NRs possess two types of edge symmetries depending on the number of atoms present in a row; odd-numbered NRs have mirror symmetry, whereas the even-numbered NRs have glide reflection symmetry. The armchair-edged NRs are dynamically stable and show semiconducting properties with varying band gap values in the infrared and visible regions. Detailed transport analyses show that the n-type Seebeck coefficient and the power factor differ because of the structural symmetry, whereas the p-type thermoelectric coefficients are not significantly influenced. It is shown that the phonon thermal conductance is reduced to a third of its two-dimensional value via nanostructuring. The p-type Seebeck coefficient and the power factor for T-phase HfSe(2 )are enhanced in NRs. We report that the p-type ZT value of HfSe2 NRs at 300 and 800 K are enhanced by factors of 4 and 3, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Monolayer Aste2: Stable Robust Metal in 2d, 1d and 0d(Wiley, 2018) Badalov, S. V.; Kandemir, Ali; Şahin, Hasan; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe structural, phononic, and electronic properties of the monolayer structures of AsTe2 are characterized by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Total energy optimization and phonon calculations reveal that single layers of the 2H-AsTe2 and 1T-AsTe2 phases form dynamically stable crystal structures. Electronic structure analysis also shows that both 2H and 1T phases have nonmagnetic metallic character. It is also predicted that the metallic nature of the ultra-thin both 2H-AsTe2 and 1T-AsTe2 structures remain unchanged even under high biaxial strain values. For further examination of the dimensionality effect in the robust metallicity in 2D AsTe2 phases, electronic characteristics of 1D nanoribbons and 0D quantum dots are also investigated. It is found that independent from the dimension and crystallographic orientations 0D and 1D structures of 2H- and 1T-AsTe2 structures have metallic behavior. It is found that single layers of AsTe2 are quite promising materials for nanodevice applications owing to the robust metallic character.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 47Impedimetric Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria With Bacteriophages Using Gold Nanorod Deposited Graphite Electrodes(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016) Moghtader, Farzaneh; Çongur, Gülşah; Zareie, Hadi M.; Erdem, Arzum; Pişkin, Erhan; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyElectrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is applied for the detection of bacteria using bacteriophages as a bioprobe together with gold nanorods (GNRs). Escherichia coli-E. coli K12 was used as a model target bacteria and also for the propagation of its specific T4-phages. Gold nanorods (GNRs) were synthesized via a two-step protocol and characterized using different techniques. EIS measurements were conducted in an electrochemical cell consisting of a three electrode system. Single-use pencil graphite electrodes (PGE) were modified by the physical adsorption of GNRs to increase their interfacial conductivity and therefore sensitivity for impedimetric measurements. Therefore, interfacial charge-transfer resistance values (Rct) sharply decreased after GNRs deposition. Phages were adsorbed on these electrodes via a simple incubation protocol at room temperature, which resulted in an increase in Rct values, which was concluded to be as a result of nonconductive phage layers. These phage-carrying GNRs-PGEs were used for impedimetric detection of the target bacteria, E. coli. Significant increases at the Rct values were observed which were attributed to the insulation effects of the adsorbed bacterial layers. This increase was even more when the bacterial concentrations were higher. In the case of the non-target bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), conductivity noticeable decreases (due to nonspecific adsorption). However, in the case of E. coli, the Rct value increase is time dependent and reaches maximum in about 25-30 min, then decreases gradually as a result of bacterial lysis due to phage invasion on the electrode surfaces. In contrast, there were no time dependent changes with the non-target bacteria S. aureus (no infection and no lytic activity). It is concluded that the target bacteria could be detected using this very simple and inexpensive detection protocol with a minimum detection limit of 103 CFU mL-1 in approximately 100 μL bacterial suspension.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Gold Nanorod Encapsulated Bubbles(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Tomak, Aysel; Zareie, Hadi M.; Tomak, Aysel; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA simple method has been described for synthesizing gold nanorods (GNRs) encapsulated bubbles in a controlled manner. The method involves the use of nitrogen gas in the seed-mediated synthesis method routinely used for synthesis of GNRs. Control over the morphology of the nanostructures was achieved by nitrogen gas flow. The synthesized structures were examined by UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). New structures of this type could conceivably serve as plasmonic biosensors, nanodevices and photothermal theranostics with dual modality imaging functionality. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015.
