    Raman and Optical Characteristics of Van Der Waals Heterostructures of Single Layers of Gap and Gase: a First-Principles Study
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Sözen, Yiğit; Şahin, Hasan
    One of the effective methods to modulate or improve the fundamental properties of 2D van der Waals materials is building their heterostructures. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations based on density functional theory to predict the ground state properties of vertically aligned single layer crystals of GaP and GaSe. First, it is shown that, depending on the intimate contact atoms in GaP, the crystal formation of heterostructures displaying characteristics of type-I and type-II heterojunctions is possible. Here, the quasiparticle bandgaps for the spatially direct and indirect electronic transitions are calculated to be 2.70 and 1.78 eV, respectively. Vibrational analysis not only reveals the dynamic stability of the heterostructures but also allows the calculation of the Raman activity spectrum of each structure, providing a fingerprint of the stacking type. In addition, by solving the BSE equation on top of G(0)W(0) approximation, the optical gaps, reflectance and transmittance spectra of the heterostructures are determined. The calculated absorption spectra demonstrate that the spectral position and characteristics of the optical transitions are altered depending on the heterojunction type. Furthermore, it is found that the interband and intraband transitions in the GaP/GaSe heterostructures can also be monitored via their reflectance and transmittance spectra.

    Janus Single Layers of In2sse: a First-Principles Study
    (American Physical Society, 2018) Kandemir, Ali; Şahin, Hasan
    By performing first-principles calculations, we propose a stable direct band gap semiconductor Janus single-layer structure, In2SSe. The binary analogs of the Janus structure, InS and InSe single layers are reviewed to evince the structural and electronic relation with In2SSe. The structural optimization calculations reveal that a Janus In2SSe single layer has hexagonal geometry like the InS and InSe single layers, which are also its structural analogs. The Janus single layer is dynamically stable, as indicated by the phonon spectrum. The electronic band diagram of the Janus structure shows that an In2SSe single layer is a direct band gap semiconductor, in contrast to its analogs, InS and InSe single layers, which are indirect band gap semiconductors. Nevertheless, it is found that the strain effect on electronic properties of the InS and InSe single layers designates the electronic structure of the Janus single layer. A rough model for the construction of the electronic band diagram of the Janus structures is discussed, and it is indicated that the difference in work functions of chalcogenide sides in the Janus structure determines the construction of the electronic structure. It is found that the Janus structure is a robust direct gap semiconductor under tolerable strain; for that reason, the Janus In2SSe single layer is a candidate for optoelectronic nanodevice applications.

    Hydrogenation-driven phase transition in single-layer TiSe2
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017) İyikanat, Fadıl; Kandemir, Ali; Özaydın, H. Duygu; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Şahin, Hasan
    First-principles calculations based on density-functional theory are used to investigate the effects of hydrogenation on the structural, vibrational, thermal and electronic properties of the charge density wave (CDW) phase of single-layer TiSe2. It is found that hydrogenation of single-layer TiSe2 is possible through adsorption of a H atom on each Se site. Our total energy and phonon calculations reveal that a structural phase transition occurs from the CDW phase to the T d phase upon full hydrogenation. Fully hydrogenated TiSe2 presents a direct gap semiconducting behavior with a band gap of 119 meV. Full hydrogenation also leads to a significant decrease in the heat capacity of single-layer TiSe2.
