Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Identification of a Magnetic Phase Via a Raman Spectrum in Single-Layer Mnse: an Ab Initio Study(Elsevier, 2022) Yayak, Yankı Öncü; Şahin, Hasan; Yağmurcukardeş, MehmetMotivated by the recent experimental realization of single-layer two-dimensional MnSe [ACS Nano2021, 15, 13794-13802], structural, magnetic, elastic, vibrational, and electronic properties of single-layer MnSe are investigated by using density functional theory-based calculations. Among four different magnetic phases, namely, ferromagnetic (FM) and Nẽel-, zigzag-, and stripy-antiferromagnetic (AFM) phases, the Nẽel-AFM structure is found to be the energetically most favorable phase. Structural optimizations show the formation of in-plane anisotropy within the structures of zigzag- and stripy-AFM phases in single-layer MnSe. For the dynamically stable four magnetic phases, predicted Raman spectra reveal that each phase exhibits distinctive vibrational features and can be distinguished from each other. In addition, the elastic constants indicate the mechanical stability of each magnetic phase in single-layer MnSe and reveal the soft nature of each phase. Moreover, electronic band dispersion calculations show the indirect band gap semiconducting nature with varying electronic band gap energies for all magnetic phases. Furthermore, the atomic orbital-based density of states reveals the existence of out-of-plane orbitals dominating the top valence states in zigzag- and stripy-AFM phases, giving rise to the localized states. The stability of different magnetic phases and their distinct vibrational and electronic properties make single-layer MnSe a promising candidate for nanoelectronic and spintronic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 171Citation - Scopus: 169Janus Single Layers of In2sse: a First-Principles Study(American Physical Society, 2018) Kandemir, Ali; Şahin, HasanBy 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.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 21Triboluminescent Electrospun Mats With Blue-Green Emission Under Mechanical Force(American Chemical Society, 2017) İncel, Anıl; Varlıklı, Canan; McMillen, Colin D.; Demir, Mustafa MuammerFibrous mechanosensing elements can provide information about the direction of crack propagation and the mechanism of material failure when they are homogeneously dispersed into the bulk volume of materials. A fabrication strategy of fibrous systems showing triboluminescent (TL) responses is in high demand for such applications. In this work, micrometer-sized Cu(NCS)(py)2(PPh3) crystals were synthesized, and polymeric fibrous mats containing the TL crystals were obtained via electrospinning as a stress probe for the determination of mechanical impact. Four different polymeric systems have been employed (PMMA, PS, PU, and PVDF), and the mechano-optical sensing performance of electrospun mats of the polymer-crystal composites was measured. Photophysical properties (quantum yield, band gap, and broadness of the emission) of the TL crystal/electrospun mat composites were also studied. TL and PL emission maxima of the PU-based composite mat show identical behavior due to the chemical affinity between the two structures and the smallest fiber diameter. Moreover, the PU fiber mats exhibit long-lived bluish-green emission persisting over a large number of drops.
