Article Citation - WoS: 50Citation - Scopus: 49Validation of Inter-Atomic Potential for Ws2 and Wse2 Crystals Through Assessment of Thermal Transport Properties(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Mobaraki, Arash; Kandemir, Ali; Yapıcıoğlu, Haluk; Gülseren, Oğuz; Sevik, CemIn recent years, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) displaying astonishing properties are emerged as a new class of two-dimensional layered materials. The understanding and characterization of thermal transport in these materials are crucial for efficient engineering of 2D TMD materials for applications such as thermoelectric devices or overcoming general overheating issues. In this work, we obtain accurate Stillinger-Weber type empirical potential parameter sets for single-layer WS2 and WSe2 crystals by utilizing particle swarm optimization, a stochastic search algorithm. For both systems, our results are quite consistent with first-principles calculations in terms of bond distances, lattice parameters, elastic constants and vibrational properties. Using the generated potentials, we investigate the effect of temperature on phonon energies and phonon linewidth by employing spectral energy density analysis. We compare the calculated frequency shift with respect to temperature with corresponding experimental data, clearly demonstrating the accuracy of the generated inter-atomic potentials in this study. Also, we evaluate the lattice thermal conductivities of these materials by means of classical molecular dynamics simulations. The predicted thermal properties are in very good agreement with the ones calculated from first-principles.Article Citation - WoS: 67Citation - Scopus: 66Bilayers of Janus Wsse: Monitoring the Stacking Type: Via the Vibrational Spectrum(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Kandemir, Ali; Şahin, HasanMotivated by the recent successful synthesis of Janus type single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides, we investigate the stability, vibrational and electronic properties of the Janus single layer structure of WSSe and its bilayers by means of density functional theory. The structural and vibrational analysis show that the Janus single layer of WSSe forms a dynamically stable structure in the 2H phase. Owing to its non-centrosymmetric structure, the Janus WSSe single layer has two in-plane (E) and two out-of-plane (A) Raman active phonon modes. The eigen-frequencies of the prominent Raman active modes are calculated to be 277 (A) and 322 (E) cm-1. Similar to single layer WS2 and WSe2, Janus WSSe is a direct band gap semiconductor that has two electronically different faces. In addition, the possible bilayer stacking orders of the Janus WSSe single layers are investigated. It is found that there are 3 stacking types of bilayer Janus WSSe and each stacking type has distinctive Raman characteristics in its vibrational spectrum. Our results show that thanks to the vibrational characteristics, which stem from the distinctive interlayer interactions at different sides, the stability and stacking types of the bilayer of WSSe Janus structure can be monitored.Article Citation - WoS: 130Citation - Scopus: 135Thermal Transport Properties of Mos2 and Mose2 Monolayers(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2016) Kandemir, Ali; Yapıcıoğlu, Haluk; Kınacı, Alper; Çalın, Tahir; Sevik, CemThe isolation of single- to few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides opens new directions in the application of two-dimensional materials to nanoelectronics. The characterization of thermal transport in these new low-dimensional materials is needed for their efficient implementation, either for general overheating issues or specific applications in thermoelectric devices. In this study, the lattice thermal conductivities of single-layer MoS2 and MoSe2 are evaluated using classical molecular dynamics methods. The interactions between atoms are defined by Stillinger-Weber-type empirical potentials that are developed to represent the structural, mechanical, and vibrational properties of the given materials. In the parameterization of the potentials, a stochastic optimization algorithm, namely particle swarm optimization, is utilized. The final parameter sets produce quite consistent results with density functional theory in terms of lattice parameters, bond distances, elastic constants, and vibrational properties of both single-layer MoS2 and MoSe2. The predicted thermal properties of both materials are in very good agreement with earlier first-principles calculations. The discrepancies between the calculations and experimental measurements are most probably caused by the pristine nature of the structures in our simulations.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22Electronic and Magnetic Properties of 1t-Tise2 Nanoribbons(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2015) Özaydın, H. Duygu; Şahin, Hasan; Kang, J.; Peeters, François M.; Şenger, Ramazan TuğrulMotivated by the recent synthesis of single layer TiSe2,we used state-of-the-art density functional theory calculations, to investigate the structural and electronic properties of zigzag and armchairedged nanoribbons (NRs) of this material. Our analysis reveals that, differing from ribbons of other ultra-thin materials such as graphene, TiSe2 NRs have some distinctive properties. The electronic band gap of the NRs decreases exponentially with the width and vanishes for ribbons wider than 20 Å. For ultranarrow zigzag-edged NRs we find odd-even oscillations in the band gap width, although their band structures show similar features. Moreover, our detailed magnetic-ground-state analysis reveals that zigzag and arm chair edged ribbons have non-magnetic ground states. Passivating the dangling bonds with hydrogen at the edges of the structures influences the band dispersion. Our results shed light on the characteristic properties of T phase NRs of similar crystal structures.
