Article Citation - WoS: 46Citation - Scopus: 49Tuning Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Monolayer ?-Rucl3 by In-Plane Strain(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) İyikanat, Fadıl; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Şahin, HasanBy employing density functional theory-based methods, the structural, vibrational, electronic, and magnetic properties of monolayer α-RuCl3 were investigated. It was demonstrated that ferromagnetic (FM) and zigzag-antiferromagnetic (ZZ-AFM) spin orders in the material have very close total energies with the latter being the ground state. We found that each Ru atom possesses a magnetic moment of 0.9 μB and the material exhibits strong magnetic anisotropy. While both phases exhibit indirect gaps, the FM phase is a magnetic semiconductor and the ZZ-AFM phase is a non-magnetic semiconductor. The structural stability of the material was confirmed by phonon calculations. Moreover, dynamical analysis revealed that the magnetic order in the material can be monitored via Raman measurements of the crystal structure. In addition, the magnetic ground state of the material changes from ZZ-AFM to FM upon certain applied strains. Valence and conduction band-edges of the material vary considerably under in-plane strains. Owing to the stable lattice structure and unique and controllable magnetic properties, monolayer α-RuCl3 is a promising material in nanoscale device applications.Article Citation - WoS: 110Citation - Scopus: 109Structural, Electronic and Phononic Properties of Ptse2: From Monolayer To Bulk(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Kandemir, Ali; Akbalı, Barış; Kahraman, Z.; Badalov, S. V.; Özcan, Mehmet; İyikanat, Fadıl; Şahin, HasanThe layer dependent structural, electronic and vibrational properties of the 1T phase of two dimensional (2D) platinum diselenide are investigated by means of state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. The main findings of the study are: (i) monolayer platinum diselenide has a dynamically stable 2D octahedral structure with 1.66 eV indirect band gap, (ii) the semiconducting nature of 1T-PtSe2 monolayers remains unaffected even at high biaxial strains, (iii) top-to-top (AA) arrangement is found to be energetically the most favorable stacking of 1T-PtSe2 layers, (iv) the lattice constant (layer-layer distance) increases (decreases) with increasing number of layers, (v) while monolayer and bilayer 1T-PtSe2 are indirect semiconductors, bulk and few-layered 1T-PtSe2 are metals, (vi) Raman intensity and peak positions of the A1g and Eg modes are found to be highly dependent on the layer thickness of the material, hence; the number of layers of the material can be determined via Raman measurements.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Hydrogenation-driven phase transition in single-layer TiSe2(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017) İyikanat, Fadıl; Kandemir, Ali; Özaydın, H. Duygu; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Şahin, HasanFirst-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.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 30Thinning Cspb2br5 Perovskite Down To Monolayers: Cs-Dependent Stability(American Physical Society, 2017) İyikanat, Fadıl; Sarı, Emre; Şahin, HasanUsing first-principles density functional theory calculations, we systematically investigate the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of bulk and potential single-layer structures of perovskitelike CsPb2Br5 crystal. It is found that while Cs atoms have no effect on the electronic structure, their presence is essential for the formation of stable CsPb2Br5 crystals. The calculated vibrational spectra of the crystal reveal that not only the bulk form but also the single-layer forms of CsPb2Br5 are dynamically stable. Predicted single-layer forms can exhibit either semiconducting or metallic character. Moreover, the modification of the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of single-layer CsPb2Br5 upon formation of vacancy defects is investigated. It is found that the formation of Br vacancy (i) has the lowest formation energy, (ii) significantly changes the electronic structure, and (iii) leads to ferromagnetic ground state in the single-layer CsPb2Br5. However, the formation of Pb and Cs vacancies leads to p-type doping of the single-layer structure. Results reported herein reveal that the single-layer CsPb2Br5 crystal is a novel stable perovskite with enhanced functionality and a promising candidate for nanodevice applications.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Stability, Electronic and Phononic Properties of Ss and 1t Structures of Sitex (x = 1, 2) and Their Vertical Heterostructures(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017) Kandemir, Ali; İyikanat, Fadıl; Şahin, HasanBy performing first-principles calculations, we predict a novel, stable single layer phase of silicon ditelluride, 1T-SiTe2, and its possible vertical heterostructures with single layer β-SiTe. Structural optimization and phonon calculations reveal that 1T-SiTe2 structure has a dynamically stable ground state. Further analysis of the vibrational spectrum at the - point shows that single layer 1T-SiTe2 has characteristic phonon modes at 80, 149, 191 and 294 cm-1. Electronic-band structure demonstrates that 1T-SiTe2 phase exhibits a nonmagnetic metallic ground state with a negligible intrinsic spinorbit splitting. Moreover, it is shown that similar structural parameters of 1T-SiTe2 and existing β-SiTe phases allows construction of 1T-β heterostructures with a negligible lattice mismatch. In this regard, it is found that two energetically favorable stacking orders, namely AA and ATB, have distinctive shear and layer breathing phonon modes. It is important to note that the combination of semiconducting β-SiTe and metallic 1T-SiTe2 building blocks forms ultra-thin Schottky barriers that can be used in nanoscale optoelectronic device technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Quantum-Transport Characteristics of a P–n Junction on Single-Layer Tis3(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) İyikanat, Fadıl; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Peeters, François M.; Şahin, HasanBy using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green′s function-based methods, we investigated the electronic and transport properties of a TiS3 monolayer p–n junction. We constructed a lateral p–n junction on a TiS3 monolayer using Li and F adatoms. An applied bias voltage caused significant variability in the electronic and transport properties of the TiS3 p–n junction. In addition, the spin-dependent current–voltage characteristics of the constructed TiS3 p–n junction were analyzed. Important device characteristics were found, such as negative differential resistance and rectifying diode behaviors for spin-polarized currents in the TiS3 p–n junction. These prominent conduction properties of the TiS3 p–n junction offer remarkable opportunities for the design of nanoelectronic devices based on a recently synthesized single-layered material.
