    Anisotropic Tunability of Vibrational Modes in Black Phosphorus Under Uniaxial Compressive/Tensile Strain
    (Wiley, 2023) Li, Hao; Kutlu, Tayfun; Carrascoso, Felix; Şahin, Hasan; Munuera, Carmen; Castellanos Gomez, Andres
    Strain engineering is a powerful strategy for tuning the optical, electrical, vibrational properties of 2D nanomaterials. In this work, a four-point bending apparatus is constructed to apply both compressive and tensile strain on 2D anisotropic black phosphorus flake. Further polarized Raman spectroscopy is used to study the vibrational modes of black phosphorus flakes under uniaxial strain applied along various crystalline orientations. Here, a strong anisotropic blue/redshift of A1g, B2g, and A2g modes is found under compressive/tensile strain, respectively. Interestingly, mode A1g exhibits the maximum/minimum shift while mode B2g and mode A2g present the minimum/maximum shift when the strain is applied along armchair/zigzag direction. Density functional theory calculations are carried out to investigate the anisotropic strain response mechanism, finding that the strain-induced regulation of the PP bond angle, bond length, and especially interlayer interaction has a giant influence on the Raman shift. A four-point bending apparatus is constructed to study the effect of uniaxial strain on the vibrational property of anisotropic black phosphorus. Particularly, strong anisotropy on the Raman blueshift/redshift rate upon compressive/tensile strain can be observed, which results from the strain-induced regulation of the bond angle, bond length, and interlayer interactions according to density functional theory calculation analysis.image

    Monitoring the Characteristic Properties of Ga-Doped Zno by Raman Spectroscopy and Atomic Scale Calculations
    (Elsevier, 2019) Horzum, Şeyda; İyikanat, Fadıl; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Çelebi, Cem; Sbeta, Mohamed; Yıldız, Abdullah; Serin, Tülay
    We experimentally and theoretically study how the structural and vibrational properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) are modified upon Gallium (Ga) doping. The characteristics of Ga-doped ZnO thin films which are synthesized by sol-gel spin coating method on glass substrates are monitored by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman scattering measurements. For atomic-level understanding of the experimental findings state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) based calculations are also performed. DFT calculations reveal that both the substitution and adsorption of Ga atoms in ZnO are energetically possible and substitutional doping in ZnO is the most favourable scenario. XRD measurements show that all the films are in wurtzite structure and the crystallite size of the films decreases with increasing Ga doping. In addition, Raman analysis show that strong vibrational modes at about 100 and 441 cm(-1) are associated with E-2(low) and E-2(high) phonon branches of ZnO, respectively. While the frequency of the E-2(low) mode downshifts with increasing Ga concentration, the E-2(high) phonon mode is not affected by the Ga doping. Furthermore, E-Ga phonon branch, stemming from the substituted Ga atoms, emerges at low frequencies. It is also seen that the Raman intensity of the E-G(a) peak linearly increases with increasing Ga concentration. Experimental results on the vibrational properties are in good agreement with the ab initio phonon calculations. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    2d Vibrational Properties of Epitaxial Silicene on Ag(111)
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017) Solonenko, Dmytro; Gordan, Ovidiu D.; Le Lay, Guy; Şahin, Hasan; Cahangirov, Seymur; Zahn, Dietrich R. T.; Vogt, Patrick
    The two-dimensional silicon allotrope, silicene, could spur the development of new and original concepts in Si-based nanotechnology. Up to now silicene can only be epitaxially synthesized on a supporting substrate such as Ag(111). Even though the structural and electronic properties of these epitaxial silicene layers have been intensively studied, very little is known about its vibrational characteristics. Here, we present a detailed study of epitaxial silicene on Ag(111) using in situ Raman spectroscopy, which is one of the most extensively employed experimental techniques to characterize 2D materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and black phosphorous. The vibrational fingerprint of epitaxial silicene, in contrast to all previous interpretations, is characterized by three distinct phonon modes with A and E symmetries. Both, energies and symmetries of theses modes are confirmed by ab initio theory calculations. The temperature dependent spectral evolution of these modes demonstrates unique thermal properties of epitaxial silicene and a significant electron-phonon coupling. These results unambiguously support the purely two-dimensional character of epitaxial silicene up to about 300°C, whereupon a 2D-to-3D phase transition takes place. The detailed fingerprint of epitaxial silicene will allow us to identify it in different environments or to study its modifications.

    Unusual Lattice Vibration Characteristics in Whiskers of the Pseudo-One Titanium Trisulfide Tis3
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2016) Wu, Kedi; Torun, Engin; Şahin, Hasan; Chen, Bin; Fan, Xi; Pant, Anupum; Wright, David Parsons; Aoki, Toshihiro; Peeters, François M.; Soignard, Emmanuel; Tongay, Sefaattin
    Transition metal trichalcogenides form a class of layered materials with strong in-plane anisotropy. For example, titanium trisulfide (TiS3) whiskers are made out of weakly interacting TiS3 layers, where each layer is made of weakly interacting quasi-one-dimensional chains extending along the b axis. Here we establish the unusual vibrational properties of TiS3 both experimentally and theoretically. Unlike other two-dimensional systems, the Raman active peaks of TiS3 have only out-of-plane vibrational modes, and interestingly some of these vibrations involve unique rigid-chain vibrations and S-S molecular oscillations. High-pressure Raman studies further reveal that the Ag S-S S-S molecular mode has an unconventional negative pressure dependence, whereas other peaks stiffen as anticipated. Various vibrational modes are doubly degenerate at ambient pressure, but the degeneracy is lifted at high pressures. These results establish the unusual vibrational properties of TiS3 with strong in-plane anisotropy, and may have relevance to understanding of vibrational properties in other anisotropic two-dimensional material systems. © The Author(s) 2016.
