    Vibrational and Optical Identification of Geo2 and Geo Single Layers: a First-Principles Study
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Sözen, Yiğit; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Şahin, Hasan
    In the present work, the identification of two hexagonal phases of germanium oxides (namely GeO2 and GeO) through the vibrational and optical properties is reported using density functional theory calculations. While structural optimizations show that single-layer GeO2 and GeO crystallize in 1T and buckled phases, phonon band dispersions reveal the dynamical stability of each structure. First-order off-resonant Raman spectral predictions demonstrate that each free-standing single-layer possesses characteristic peaks that are representative for the identification of the germanium oxide phase. On the other hand, electronic band dispersion analysis shows the insulating and large-gap semiconducting nature of single-layer GeO2 and GeO, respectively. Moreover, optical absorption, reflectance, and transmittance spectra obtained by means of G(0)W(0)-BSE calculations reveal the existence of tightly bound excitons in each phase, displaying strong optical absorption. Furthermore, the excitonic gaps are found to be at deep UV and visible portions of the spectrum, for GeO2 and GeO crystals, with energies of 6.24 and 3.10 eV, respectively. In addition, at the prominent excitonic resonances, single-layers display high reflectivity with a zero transmittance, which is another indication of the strong light-matter interaction inside the crystal medium.

    Janus Single Layers of In2sse: a First-Principles Study
    (American Physical Society, 2018) Kandemir, Ali; Şahin, Hasan
    By performing first-principles calculations, we propose a stable direct band gap semiconductor Janus single-layer structure, In2SSe. The binary analogs of the Janus structure, InS and InSe single layers are reviewed to evince the structural and electronic relation with In2SSe. The structural optimization calculations reveal that a Janus In2SSe single layer has hexagonal geometry like the InS and InSe single layers, which are also its structural analogs. The Janus single layer is dynamically stable, as indicated by the phonon spectrum. The electronic band diagram of the Janus structure shows that an In2SSe single layer is a direct band gap semiconductor, in contrast to its analogs, InS and InSe single layers, which are indirect band gap semiconductors. Nevertheless, it is found that the strain effect on electronic properties of the InS and InSe single layers designates the electronic structure of the Janus single layer. A rough model for the construction of the electronic band diagram of the Janus structures is discussed, and it is indicated that the difference in work functions of chalcogenide sides in the Janus structure determines the construction of the electronic structure. It is found that the Janus structure is a robust direct gap semiconductor under tolerable strain; for that reason, the Janus In2SSe single layer is a candidate for optoelectronic nanodevice applications.
