    Graphene-Like Materials for Electronic Applications
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Başkurt, Mehmet; Şahin, Hasan; Balcı, Sinan
    Two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained vast interest in nanotechnology since these materials exhibit extraordinary properties due to electron confinement. Starting with graphene, many other 2D materials with characteristics of metals, semiconductors, insulators, and their magnetic analogues have been studied over the years. Insulators show importance as dielectric layers. Low dimensional metallic materials are used in electrical conduction. Ultra-thin semiconductors have variety of potential applications due to their characteristic band gap. Magnetic analogues of low dimensional materials are used in spintronics, offering high frequency, controllable switching. In addition, defects in these materials alter their physical properties and the concept can be adopted in order to use in different practices. Therefore it is important to study array of such materials and consider the alteration in their lattice theoretically and experimentally. In this thesis, first-principles calculations are used to predict insulating calcium halide single-layers are predicted, determine the effects of strain and V dopant in recently synthesized magnetic semiconducting VI3 single-layers, propose synthesis of magnetic, semiconducting manganese fluorides from manganese dichalcogenides, investigate the affects of defects and simulate scanning tunneling microscopy images in order to compare with experimental results, and finally to determine rather the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as methanol and ethanol by graphene-based sensors is feasible or not. Experiments are carried out to construct and further investigate the mechanism of VOC detection and working, highly sensitive alcohol sensors.

    Flexible Transparent Conducting Electrodes Based on Silver Nanowire, Graphene, and Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalgogenide
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Tertemiz, Necip Ayhan; Balcı, Sinan
    In recent years, transparent conductive electrodes have attracted great interests owing to their critical applications in various optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting diodes, solar cells, liquid crystal displays, optical modulators, and touch screens. In this thesis, graphene-silver nanowires-transition metal dichalcogenide based hybrid transparent and conductive electrodes have been fabricated. In order to reach this goal; (1) single layer graphene on copper foil has been synthesized in large area in a CVD furnace, (2) ultrathin and very long silver nanowires have been synthesized by using wet chemistry methods, (3) MoS2 and WS2 single layer flakes and multilayer thin films have been synthesized in a CVD furnace, (4) electrodes of graphene, silver nanowires, and transition metal dichalcogenides have been fabricated on rigid and flexible substrates.
