Article Citation - Scopus: 1A Perspective on the State-Of Functionalized 2d Materials(American Institute of Physics, 2023) Duran, Tuna; Yayak, Yankı Öncü; Aydın, Hasan; Peeters, François M.; Yağmurcukardeş, MehmetTwo-dimensional (2D) ultra-thin materials are more crucial than their bulk counterparts for the covalent functionalization of their surface owing to atomic thinness, large surface-to-volume ratio, and high reactivity of surface atoms having unoccupied orbitals. Since the surface of a 2D material is composed of atoms having unoccupied orbitals, covalent functionalization enables one to improve or precisely modify the properties of the ultra-thin materials. Chemical functionalization of 2D materials not only modifies their intrinsic properties but also makes them adapted for nanotechnology applications. Such engineered materials have been used in many different applications with their improved properties. In the present Perspective, we begin with a brief history of functionalization followed by the introduction of functionalized 2D materials. Our Perspective is composed of the following sections: the applications areas of 2D graphene and graphene oxide crystals, transition metal dichalcogenides, and in-plane anisotropic black phosphorus, all of which have been widely used in different nanotechnology applications. Finally, our Perspectives on the future directions of applications of functionalized 2D materials are given. The present Perspective sheds light on the current progress in nanotechnological applications of engineered 2D materials through surface functionalization. © 2023 Author(s).Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Photonic Crystal Textiles for Heat Insulation(American Institute of Physics, 2023) Çetin, Zebih; Tunçtürk, Yiğit; Sözüer, Hüseyin SamiIn this work, we have studied transmission properties of a photonic crystal-like structure that can be woven into fabrics. An interesting possibility emerges when considering the potential energy savings through suppression of radiation. It is a well-established fact that every object at a finite temperature inherently emits electromagnetic waves. Within the specific context of the human body, radiation takes on a crucial role as a fundamental mechanism governing heat dissipation. Thus, exploring ways to manage or mitigate this radiation could offer innovative approaches to optimize energy consumption and enhance heat regulation. It is well known that a photonic crystal can block electromagnetic energy with a specific frequency that is falling into a photonic bandgap. By using the numerical method called a finite-difference time domain, we have shown that this property of a periodic structure can be used to make textiles to save energy that is used to heat a human body environment. Numerical calculations have shown that by using the proposed photonic crystal structure, 53 % of electromagnetic energy is reflected. Although we mainly focused on textiles, it is worth highlighting that the same fundamental principle can be extended to diverse fields; for example, this structure can be integrated with construction materials and effectively function as a radiation heat insulator. © 2023 Author(s).Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Halloysite Nanotube Loaded Polyamide Nanocomposites: Structural, Morphological, Mechanical, Thermal and Processing Behaviors(American Institute of Physics, 2023) Akar, Alinda Öykü; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Tayfun, ÜmitIn this study, the polyamide 6 (PA) matrix was reinforced with the purified, fine ground and amino-silane treated halloysite nanotubes (HNT) at different concentrations. The preparation of composites was carried out using a lab-scale twin-screw micro-compounder with loading ratios at 0.5, 1, 3, and 20% by weight, and the test samples were prepared by the injection-molding process. According to mechanical test results, additions of HNT to the PA matrix caused slight improvements in tensile strength and Youngs' modulus parameters. The optimum concentrations for all of the additives used were estimated by comparison of mechanical test data. The addition of aminosilane-modified HNT resulted in a higher impact performance at high loading levels up to 3% concentrations. Further addition of HNT caused a reduction in the mechanical parameters of composites. Thermal studies revealed that the glass transition temperature of PA shifted to higher values after HNT mineral inclusions. Thermo-mechanical results showed that storage moduli of PA exhibited improvement with an increase in HNT content. The distributions of HNT clay into the PA phase were visualized with SEM images. Based on these observations, a high level of dispersion homogeneity was achieved for lower filling ratios. According to melt-flow and force measurements, composites filled with 20% of HNT displayed a remarkable increase in exerted force during melt-blending. © 2023 Author(s).Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4The Peculiar Potential of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides for Thermoelectric Applications: a Perspective on Future Computational Research(American Institute of Physics, 2023) Özbal, Gözde; Sarıkurt, Sevil; Sevinçli, Haldun; Sevik, CemThe peculiar potential transition metal dichalcogenides in regard to sensor and device applications have been exhibited by both experimental and theoretical studies. The use of these materials, thermodynamically stable even at elevated temperatures, particularly in nano- and optoelectronic technology, is about to come true. On the other hand, the distinct electronic and thermal transport properties possessing unique coherency, which may result in higher thermoelectric efficiency, have also been reported. However, exploiting this potential in terms of power generation and cooling applications requires a deeper understanding of these materials in this regard. This perspective study, concentrated with this intention, summarizes thermoelectric research based on transition metal dichalcogenides from a broad perspective and also provides a general evaluation of future theoretical investigations inevitable to shed more light on the physics of electronic and thermal transport in these materials and to lead future experimental research. © 2023 Author(s).Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Initial Stages of Gravity-Driven Flow of Two Fluids of Equal Depth(American Institute of Physics, 2023) Korobkin, Alexander; Yılmaz, OğuzShort-time behavior of gravity-driven free surface flow of two fluids of equal depth and different densities is studied. Initially, the fluids are at rest and separated with a vertical rigid plate of negligible thickness. Then, the plate disappears suddenly and a gravity-driven flow of the fluids starts. The flow in an early stage is described by the potential theory. The initial flow in the leading order is described by a linear problem, which is solved by the Fourier series method. The motions of the interface between the fluids and their free surfaces are investigated. The singular behaviors of the velocity field at the bottom point, where the interface meets the rigid bottom, and the top point, where the interface meets both free surfaces, are analyzed in detail. The flow velocity is shown to be log-singular at the bottom point. The leading-order inner asymptotic solution is constructed in a small vicinity of this point. It is shown that the flow close to the bottom point is self-similar. The motion of the interface is independent of any parameters, including the density ratio, of the problem in specially stretched variables. In the limiting case of negligible density of one of the fluids, the results of the classical dam break problem are recovered. The Lagrangian representation is employed to capture the behavior of the interface and the free surfaces at the top, where the fluid interface meets the free surfaces. The shapes of the free surfaces and the interface in the leading order computed by using the Lagrangian variables show a jump discontinuity of the free surface near the top point where the free surfaces and the interface meet. Inner region formulation is derived near the top point.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Rank One Perturbations Supported by Hybrid Geometries and Their Deformations(American Institute of Physics, 2022) Erman, Fatih; Seymen, Sema; Turgut, O. TeomanWe study the hybrid type of rank one perturbations in ℝ2 and ℝ3, where the perturbation supported by a circle/sphere is considered together with the delta potential supported by a point outside of the circle/sphere. The construction of a self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator associated with formal expressions for the rank one perturbation supported by a circle and by a point is explicitly given. Bound state energies and scattering properties for each problem are also studied. Finally, we consider the rank one perturbation supported by a deformed circle/sphere and show that the first order change in bound state energies under small deformations of the circle/sphere has a simple geometric interpretation.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Graphene/Soi-based Self-Powered Schottky Barrier Photodiode Array(American Institute of Physics, 2022) Yanılmaz, Alper; Fidan, Mehmet; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, CemWe have fabricated a four-element graphene/silicon on insulator (SOI) based Schottky barrier photodiode array (PDA) and investigated its optoelectronic device performance. In our device design, monolayer graphene is utilized as a common electrode on a lithographically defined linear array of n-type Si channels on a SOI substrate. As revealed by wavelength resolved photocurrent spectroscopy measurements, each element in the PDA structure exhibited a maximum spectral responsivity of around 0.1 A/W under a self-powered operational mode. Time-dependent photocurrent spectroscopy measurements showed excellent photocurrent reversibility of the device with ∼1.36 and ∼1.27 μs rise time and fall time, respectively. Each element in the array displayed an average specific detectivity of around 1.3 × 1012 Jones and a substantially small noise equivalent power of ∼0.14 pW/Hz-1/2. The study presented here is expected to offer exciting opportunities in terms of high value-added graphene/Si based PDA device applications such as multi-wavelength light measurement, level metering, high-speed photometry, and position/motion detection.Article Exact Time-Evolution of a Generalized Two-Dimensional Quantum Parametric Oscillator in the Presence of Time-Variable Magnetic and Electric Fields(American Institute of Physics, 2022) Atılgan Büyükaşık, Şirin; Çayiç, ZehraThe time-dependent Schrodinger equation describing a generalized two-dimensional quantum parametric oscillator in the presence of time-variable external fields is solved using the evolution operator method. For this, the evolution operator is found as a product of exponential operators through the Wei-Norman Lie algebraic approach. Then, the propagator and time-evolution of eigenstates and coherent states are derived explicitly in terms of solutions to the corresponding system of coupled classical equations of motion. In addition, using the evolution operator formalism, we construct linear and quadratic quantum dynamical invariants that provide connection of the present results with those obtained via the Malkin-Man'ko-Trifonov and the Lewis-Riesenfeld approaches. Finally, as an exactly solvable model, we introduce a Cauchy-Euler type quantum oscillator with increasing mass and decreasing frequency in time-dependent magnetic and electric fields. Based on the explicit results for the uncertainties and expectations, squeezing properties of the wave packets and their trajectories in the two-dimensional configuration space are discussed according to the influence of the time-variable parameters and external fields.

Here, we take them into account in the framework of a Ginzburg-Landau one-dimensional model to study the dependence of characteristics of the two-phase state on system size. Unlike earlier works, we find that the transition to the two-phase state from both the symmetrical and nonsymmetrical phases is not continuous but abrupt. For a one-dimensional system with length L studied in this work, we show that the formation of two-phase state begins with a region whose size is proportional to root L. The latent heat of the transition is also proportional to root L -> infinity, recovering the earlier result for infinite systems. The temperature width of the two-phase region decreases with decreasing of L, but we are unable to answer the question about the critical length for two-phase state formation because the approximation used in analytical calculations is valid for sufficiently large L. A region of small values of L was studied partially to reveal the limits of validity of the analytical calculations. The main physical results are also obtainable within a simple approximation that considers the energy of interphase boundary as a fixed value, neglecting its temperature dependence and the thickness of the boundary. A more involved but consistent treatment provides the same results within the accepted approximation and sheds light on the reason of validity of the simplified approach.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Toward Single-Layer Janus Crystals: Off-Balance Materials From Synthesis To Nanotechnology Applications(American Institute of Physics, 2021) Oğuztürk, H. Esra; Sözen, Yiğit; Akyol, Cansu; Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Şahin, HasanThe existence of things is directly related to their structural symmetry in a broad framework ranging from atoms to crystalline materials and from simple cells to complex organisms like humans. However, structural imbalance that occurs through natural or artificial means can provide completely different advantages. Molecules, crystals, and complex structures with structural imbalance constitute the family of Janus-type materials. This perspective provides a comprehensive discussion on the synthesis techniques of Janus-type materials, their use in fields from biology to materials science, and very recent studies on the family of 2D ultrathin graphene-like structures. We believe that, thanks to the advances in experimental techniques, the few-atom-sized off-balanced materials will be indispensable parts of the nanotechnology products that soon will be used in our daily lives.
