Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Hydrogen-Induced Sp2-Sp3 Rehybridization in Epitaxial Silicene(American Physical Society, 2017) Solonenko, Dmytro; Dzhagan, Volodymyr; Cahangirov, Seymur; Bacaksız, Cihan; Şahin, Hasan; Zahn, Dietrich R. 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: 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: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Single layer PbI2: Hydrogenation-driven reconstructions(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016) Bacaksız, Cihan; Şahin, HasanBy performing density functional theory-based calculations, we investigate how a hydrogen atom interacts with the surfaces of monolayer PbI2 and how one- and two-side hydrogenation modifies its structural, electronic, and magnetic properties. Firstly, it was shown that the T-phase of single layer PbI2 is energetically more favorable than the H-phase. It is found that hydrogenation of its surfaces is possible through the adsorption of hydrogen on the iodine sites. While H atoms do not form a particular bonding-type at low concentration, by increasing the number of hydrogenated I-sites well-ordered hydrogen patterns are formed on the PbI2 matrix. In addition, we found that for one-side hydrogenation, the structure forms a (2 × 1) Jahn-Teller type distorted structure and the bandgap is dramatically reduced compared to hydrogen-free single layer PbI2. Moreover, in the case of full hydrogenation, the structure also possesses another (2 × 2) reconstruction with a reduction in the bandgap. The easily tunable electronic and structural properties of single layer PbI2 controlled by hydrogenation reveal its potential uses in nanoscale semiconducting device applications.
