    High-Throughput Analysis of Tetragonal Transition Metal Xenes
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022) Šabani, Denis; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Yorulmaz, Uğur; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Sevik, Cem; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    We report a high-throughput first-principles characterization of the structural, mechanical, electronic, and vibrational properties of tetragonal single-layer transition metal Xenes (t-TMXs). Our calculations revealed 22 dynamically, mechanically and chemically stable structures among the 96 possible free-standing layers present in the t-TMX family. As a fingerprint for their structural identification, we identified four characteristic Raman active phonon modes, namely three in-plane and one out-of-plane optical branches, with various intensities and frequencies depending on the material in question. Spin-polarized electronic calculations demonstrated that anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) metals, ferromagnetic (FM) metals, AFM semiconductors, and non-magnetic semiconductor materials exist within this family, evidencing the potential of t-TMXs for further use in multifunctional heterostructures.

    Interface-Dependent Phononic and Optical Properties of Geo/Moso Heterostructures
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022) Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Sözen, Yiğit; Sözen, Yiğit; Peeters, François M.; Şahin, Hasan; Şahin, Hasan; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04. Faculty of Science
    The interface-dependent electronic, vibrational, piezoelectric, and optical properties of van der Waals heterobilayers, formed by buckled GeO (b-GeO) and Janus MoSO structures, are investigated by means of first-principles calculations. The electronic band dispersions show that O/Ge and S/O interface formations result in a type-II band alignment with direct and indirect band gaps, respectively. In contrast, O/O and S/Ge interfaces give rise to the formation of a type-I band alignment with an indirect band gap. By considering the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) on top of G0W0 approximation, it is shown that different interfaces can be distinguished from each other by means of the optical absorption spectra as a consequence of the band alignments. Additionally, the low-and high-frequency regimes of the Raman spectra are also different for each interface type. The alignment of the individual dipoles, which is interface-dependent, either weakens or strengthens the net dipole of the heterobilayers and results in tunable piezoelectric coefficients. The results indicate that the possible heterobilayers of b-GeO/MoSO asymmetric structures possess various electronic, optical, and piezoelectric properties arising from the different interface formations and can be distinguished by means of various spectroscopic techniques.

    Tuning Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Monolayer ?-Rucl3 by In-Plane Strain
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) İyikanat, Fadıl; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Şahin, Hasan; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Şahin, Hasan; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    By employing density functional theory-based methods, the structural, vibrational, electronic, and magnetic properties of monolayer α-RuCl3 were investigated. It was demonstrated that ferromagnetic (FM) and zigzag-antiferromagnetic (ZZ-AFM) spin orders in the material have very close total energies with the latter being the ground state. We found that each Ru atom possesses a magnetic moment of 0.9 μB and the material exhibits strong magnetic anisotropy. While both phases exhibit indirect gaps, the FM phase is a magnetic semiconductor and the ZZ-AFM phase is a non-magnetic semiconductor. The structural stability of the material was confirmed by phonon calculations. Moreover, dynamical analysis revealed that the magnetic order in the material can be monitored via Raman measurements of the crystal structure. In addition, the magnetic ground state of the material changes from ZZ-AFM to FM upon certain applied strains. Valence and conduction band-edges of the material vary considerably under in-plane strains. Owing to the stable lattice structure and unique and controllable magnetic properties, monolayer α-RuCl3 is a promising material in nanoscale device applications.
