Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Stable Single Layer Structures of Aluminum Oxide: Vibrational and Electronic Characterization of Magnetic Phases(Elsevier, 2022) Özyurt, A. Kutay; Molavali, Deniz; Şahin, HasanThe structural, magnetic, vibrational and electronic properties of single layer aluminum oxide (AlO2) are investigated by performing state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. Total energy optimization and phonon calculations reveal that aluminum oxide forms a distorted octahedral structure (1T′-AlO2) in its single layer limit. It is also shown that surfaces of 1T′-AlO2 display magnetic behavior originating from the O atoms. While the ferromagnetic (FM) state is the most favorable magnetic order for 1T′-AlO2, transformation to a dynamically stable antiferromagnetic (AFM) state upon a slight distortion in the crystal structure is also possible. It is also shown that Raman activities (350–400 cm−1) obtained from the vibrational spectrum can be utilized to distinguish the possible magnetic phases of the crystal structure. Electronically, both FM and the AFM phases are semiconductors with an indirect band gap and they can form a type-III vdW heterojunction with graphene-like ultra-thin materials. Moreover, it is predicted that presence of oxygen defects that inevitably occur during synthesis and production do not alter the magnetic state, even at high vacancy density. Apparently, ultra-thin 1T′-AlO2 with its stable crystal structure, semiconducting nature and robust magnetic state is a quite promising material for nanoscale device applications.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Contribution of O-2 Plasma Treatment and Amine Modified Gos on Film Properties of Conductive Pedot:pss: Application in Indium Tin Oxide Free Solution Processed Blue Oled(Elsevier, 2019) Diker, Halide; Yeşil, Fatih; Varlıklı, CananPrimary (n-propyl amine, n-PRYLA), secondary (dipropyl amine, DPRYLA) and alcohol (propanol amine, PRPOHA) amine derivatives were used as amine sources in graphene oxide (GO) modification and obtained samples were named as nPRYLA-GO, DPRYLA-GO and PRPOHA-GO, respectively. Modified graphene oxide (mGO) derivatives were doped in poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PH1000) and O-2 plasma treatment (70W, 3 min) was applied on the spin casted films. PH1000:mGO films presented high optical transparency values (> 90%) and low resistivity (177-183 Q/sq). The roughness values were increased especially when the hydrophobic alkyl chain containing DPRYLA-GO and nPRYLA-GO were doped in PH1000. Prepared films were utilized as anode in solution processed blue organic light emitting diode. PH1000:PRPOHA-GO anode presented more than 30 nm of decrement in full with at half maximum and 1.6, 1.5 and 1.9 fold enhancements in current, power and external quantum efficiency values, compared to those of ITO anode, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 30P3HT-graphene bilayer electrode for Schottky junction photodetectors(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Aydın, Hasan; Kalkan, Sırrı Batuhan; Varlıklı, Canan; Çelebi, CemWe have investigated the effect of a poly (3-hexylthiophene-2.5-diyl)(P3HT)-graphene bilayer electrode on the photoresponsivity characteristics of Si-based Schottky photodetectors. P3HT, which is known to be an electron donor and absorb light in the visible spectrum, was placed on CVD grown graphene by dip-coating method. The results of the UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy measurements have been evaluated to confirm the optical and electronic modification of graphene by the P3HT thin film. Current-voltage measurements of graphene/Si and P3HT-graphene/Si revealed rectification behavior confirming a Schottky junction formation at the graphene/Si interface. Time-resolved photocurrent spectroscopy measurements showed the devices had excellent durability and a fast response speed. We found that the maximum spectral photoresponsivity of the P3HT-graphene/Si photodetector increased more than three orders of magnitude compared to that of the bare graphene/Si photodetector. The observed increment in the photoresponsivity of the P3HT-graphene/Si samples was attributed to the charge transfer doping from P3HT to graphene within the spectral range between near-ultraviolet and near-infrared. Furthermore, the P3HT-graphene electrode was found to improve the specific detectivity and noise equivalent power of graphene/Si photodetectors. The obtained results showed that the P3HT-graphene bilayer electrodes significantly improved the photoresponsivity characteristics of our samples and thus can be used as a functional component in Si-based optoelectronic device applications.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Few-Layer Mos2 as Nitrogen Protective Barrier(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017) Akbalı, Barış; Yanılmaz, Alper; Tomak, Aysel; Tongay, Sefaattin; Çelebi, Cem; Şahin, HasanWe report experimental and theoretical investigations of the observed barrier behavior of few-layer MoS2 against nitrogenation. Owing to its low-strength shearing, low friction coefficient, and high lubricity, MoS2 exhibits the demeanor of a natural N-resistant coating material. Raman spectroscopy is done to determine the coating capability of MoS2 on graphene. Surface morphology of our MoS2/graphene heterostructure is characterized by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. In addition, density functional theory-based calculations are performed to understand the energy barrier performance of MoS2 against nitrogenation. The penetration of nitrogen atoms through a defect-free MoS2 layer is prevented by a very high vertical diffusion barrier, indicating that MoS2 can serve as a protective layer for the nitrogenation of graphene. Our experimental and theoretical results show that MoS2 material can be used both as an efficient nanocoating material and as a nanoscale mask for selective nitrogenation of graphene layer.Article Citation - WoS: 166Citation - Scopus: 170Mechanical Properties of Monolayer Gas and Gase Crystals(American Physical Society, 2016) Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Peeters, François M.; Şahin, HasanThe mechanical properties of monolayer GaS and GaSe crystals are investigated in terms of their elastic constants: in-plane stiffness (C), Poisson ratio (ν), and ultimate strength (σU) by means of first-principles calculations. The calculated elastic constants are compared with those of graphene and monolayer MoS2. Our results indicate that monolayer GaS is a stiffer material than monolayer GaSe crystals due to the more ionic character of the Ga-S bonds than the Ga-Se bonds. Although their Poisson ratio values are very close to each other, 0.26 and 0.25 for GaS and GaSe, respectively, monolayer GaS is a stronger material than monolayer GaSe due to its slightly higher σU value. However, GaS and GaSe crystals are found to be more ductile and flexible materials than graphene and MoS2. We have also analyzed the band-gap response of GaS and GaSe monolayers to biaxial tensile strain and predicted a semiconductor-metal crossover after 17% and 14% applied strain, respectively, for monolayer GaS and GaSe. In addition, we investigated how the mechanical properties are affected by charging. We found that the flexibility of single layer GaS and GaSe displays a sharp increase under 0.1e/cell charging due to the repulsive interactions between extra charges located on chalcogen atoms. These charging-controllable mechanical properties of single layers of GaS and GaSe can be of potential use for electromechanical applications. © 2016 American Physical Society.
