Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Atomic Collapse in Graphene Quantum Dots in a Magnetic Field(Elsevier, 2022) Eren, İsmail; Güçlü, Alev DevrimWe investigate finite size and external magnetic field effects on the atomic collapse due to a Coulomb impurity placed at the center of a hexagonal graphene quantum dot within tight binding and mean-field Hubbard approaches. For large quantum dots, the atomic collapse effect persists when the magnetic field is present, characterized by a series of Landau level crossings and anticrossings, in agreement with previous bulk graphene results. However, we show that a new regime arises if the size of the quantum dot is comparable to or smaller than the magnetic length: While the lowest bound states cross the Fermi level at a lower value of coupling constant β<0.5, a size independent critical coupling constant βc∗>0.5 emerges in the local density of states spectrum, which increases with the applied magnetic field. These effects are found to be persistent in the presence of electron–electron interactions within mean-field Hubbard approximation.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: 22Citation - Scopus: 24Quantum Interference in Thermoelectric Molecular Junctions: a Toy Model Perspective(American Institute of Physics, 2014) Nozaki, Daijiro; Avdoshenko, Stanislav M.; Sevinçli, Haldun; Cuniberti, GianaurelioQuantum interference (QI) phenomena between electronic states in molecular circuits offer a new opportunity to design new types of molecular devices such as molecular sensors, interferometers, and thermoelectric devices. Controlling the QI effect is a key challenge for such applications. For the development of single molecular devices employing QI effects, a systematic study of the relationship between electronic structure and the quantum interference is needed. In order to uncover the essential topological requirements for the appearance of QI effects and the relationship between the QI-affected line shape of the transmission spectra and the electronic structures, we consider a homogeneous toy model where all on-site energies are identical and model four types of molecular junctions due to their topological connectivities. We systematically analyze their transmission spectra, density of states, and thermoelectric properties. Even without the degree of freedom for on-site energies an asymmetric Fano peak could be realized in the homogeneous systems with the cyclic configuration. We also calculate the thermoelectric properties of the model systems with and without fluctuation of on-site energies. Even under the fluctuation of the on-site energies, the finite thermoelectrics are preserved for the Fano resonance, thus cyclic configuration is promising for thermoelectric applications. This result also suggests the possibility to detect the cyclic configuration in the homogeneous systems and the presence of the QI features from thermoelectric measurements.
