Article 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, AndresStrain 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.imageArticle Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Comparison of Characteristic Properties of Al, Ga, and In-Doped Zno Thin Films Formed by Sol-Gel Method(Academic Press, 2021) Horzum, Şeyda; Bulduk, Emel; Şener, Deniz; Serin, TülayHerein, we examine the effect of doping with Indium (In), Gallium (Ga), and Aluminum (Al) (group III elements) on the structural, optical, and vibrational properties of ZnO thin films. The characteristic properties of the ZnO films prepared by the sol-gel dip-coating method are explored by utilizing X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy, and Raman scattering measurements. XRD analyzes exhibit that the crystallite size reduces upon doping by Ga and Al, while it increases with In, and all films have hexagonal wurtzite structure. Additionally, Raman measurements indicate that the dominant two peaks at around 104 and 445 cm(-1) are related to E(2)(low )and E-2(high) phonon modes of ZnO, respectively. The low-frequency mode (E-2(low)) is affected by dopant atoms, whereas the high-frequency mode (E-2(high)) of the wurtzite phase is not influenced by the dopant. Moreover, E-dop.atom phonon mode appears at low frequencies and the intensity ratio, I(E-dop.atom)/I(E(2)low), decreases as the ionic radius of dopant atoms increases. UV-Vis spectra reveal that the film transparency, optical band gap, Urbach energy, and refraction index can be effectively tuned by dopant atoms.Article Citation - WoS: 50Citation - Scopus: 52Monitoring 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, TülayWe 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.

T.; Vogt, PatrickWe report on the hydrogenation of (3×3)/(4×4) silicene epitaxially grown on Ag(111) studied by in situ Raman spectroscopy and state-of-the-art ab initio calculations. Our results demonstrate that hydrogenation of (3×3)/(4×4) silicene leads to the formation of two different atomic structures which exhibit distinct spectral vibrational modes. Raman selection rules clearly show that the Si atoms undergo a rehybridization in both cases from a mixed sp2-sp3 to a dominating sp3 state increasing the distance between the two silicene sublattices. This results in a softening of the in-plane and a stiffening of the out-of-plane phonon modes. Nevertheless, hydrogenated epitaxial silicene retains a two-dimensional nature and hence can be considered as epitaxial silicane. The level of hydrogenation can be determined by the intensity ratio of the Raman modes with different symmetries.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 362d 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, PatrickThe 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.
