Article Citation - WoS: 62Citation - Scopus: 59Exponentially Selective Molecular Sieving Through Angstrom Pores(Nature Publishing Group, 2021) Sun, Pengzhan; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Zhang, R.; Kuang, Wenjun; Lozada-Hidalgo, Marcelo; Liu, B. L.; Geim, Andre K.Two-dimensional crystals with angstrom-scale pores are widely considered as candidates for a next generation of molecular separation technologies aiming to provide extreme, exponentially large selectivity combined with high flow rates. No such pores have been demonstrated experimentally. Here we study gas transport through individual graphene pores created by low intensity exposure to low kV electrons. Helium and hydrogen permeate easily through these pores whereas larger species such as xenon and methane are practically blocked. Permeating gases experience activation barriers that increase quadratically with molecules’ kinetic diameter, and the effective diameter of the created pores is estimated as ∼2 angstroms, about one missing carbon ring. Our work reveals stringent conditions for achieving the long sought-after exponential selectivity using porous two-dimensional membranes and suggests limits on their possible performance.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1First-Principles Investigation of Structural, Raman and Electronic Characteristics of Single Layer Ge3n4(Elsevier, 2022) Yayak, Yankı Öncü; Sözen, Yiğit; Tan, Fırat; Güngen, Deniz; Gao, Q.; Kang, J.; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Şahin, HasanBy means of density functional theory-based first-principle calculations, the structural, vibrational and electronic properties of single-layer Ge3N4 are investigated. Structural optimizations and phonon band dispersions reveal that single-layer ultrathin form of Ge3N4 possesses a dynamically stable buckled structure with large hexagonal holes. Predicted Raman spectrum of single-layer Ge3N4 indicates that the buckled holey structure of the material exhibits distinctive vibrational features. Electronic band dispersion calculations indicate the indirect band gap semiconducting nature of single-layer Ge3N4. It is also proposed that single-layer Ge3N4 forms type-II vertical heterostructures with various planar and puckered 2D materials except for single-layer GeSe which gives rise to a type-I band alignment. Moreover, the electronic properties of single-layer Ge3N4 are investigated under applied external in-plane strain. It is shown that while the indirect gap behavior of Ge3N4 is unchanged by the applied strain, the energy band gap increases (decreases) with tensile (compressive) strain. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Kagome-Like Silicene: a Novel Exotic Form of Two-Dimensional Epitaxial Silicon(Elsevier, 2020) Sassa, Yasmine; Johansson, Fredrik O. L.; Lindblad, Andreas; Yazdi, Milad G.; Simonov, Konstantin; Weissenrieder, Jonas; Le Lay, Guy; İyikanat, Fadıl; Şahin, HasanSince the discovery of graphene, intensive efforts have been made in search of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials. Decreasing the materials dimensionality to their ultimate thinness is a promising route to unveil new physical phenomena, and potentially improve the performance of devices. Among recent 2D materials, analogs of graphene, the group IV elements have attracted much attention for their unexpected and tunable physical properties. Depending on the growth conditions and substrates, several structures of silicene, germanene, and stanene can be formed. Here, we report the synthesis of a Kagome-like lattice of silicene on aluminum (1 1 1) substrates. We provide evidence of such an exotic 2D Si allotrope through scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observations, high-resolution core-level (CL) and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements, along with Density Functional Theory calculations.
