    Robustness of One-Dimensional Photonic Band Gaps Under Random Variations of Geometrical Parameters
    (American Physical Society, 2005) Sözüer, Hüseyin Sami; Sevim, Koray
    The supercell method is used to study the variation of the photonic bandgaps in one-dimensional photonic crystals under random perturbations to thicknesses of the layers. The results of both plane wave and analytical band structure and density of states calculations are presented along with the transmission coefficient as the level of randomness and the supercell size is increased. It is found that with the supercell size fixed at 1024 unit cells, higher bandgaps disappear first as the randomness is gradually increased. The lowest bandgap is found to persist up to a randomness level of 55%. However, as the supercell size is increased all bandgaps are observed to approach pseudogaps but with very low density of states. It is shown that harmonics of a relatively small cluster of closely spaced defects largely account for the bulk of the modes that populate the photonic bandgaps.

    Ballistic Thermoelectric Transport Properties of Two-Dimensional Group Iii-Vi Monolayers
    (American Physical Society, 2021) Çınar, Mustafa Neşet; Özbal Sargın, Gözde; Sevim, Koray; Özdamar, Burak; Kurt, Gizem; Sevinçli, Haldun
    Ballistic transport and thermoelectric properties of group III-VI compounds (XY: X = B, Al, Ga, In, Tl; Y = O, S, Se, Te, Po) are investigated based on first-principles calculations and Landauer formalism. This large family is composed of 25 compounds which stands out with their unique electronic band structures. Mexican hat shaped valence band, which exhibits quartic energy-momentum relation gives rise to a sharp peak in the density of states as well as a steplike electronic transmission spectrum near the valence band edge. The intriguing electronic band structure and transport properties motivate us to explore thermoelectric properties of group III-VI monolayers. We find that, in addition to the stepwise transmission at the band edge, flat bands, valley degeneracy, and band degeneracy are the factors that enhance thermoelectric efficiencies. For heavier compounds, better thermoelectric efficiencies are possible for both n-type and p-type carriers.

    Structural, Electronic, and Magnetic Properties of Point Defects in Polyaniline (c3n) and Graphene Monolayers: a Comparative Study
    (American Institute of Physics, 2020) Sevim, Koray; Sevinçli, Haldun
    The newly synthesized two-dimensional polyaniline (C3N) is structurally similar to graphene and has interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties. Motivated by the fact that point defects in graphene give rise to interesting features, like magnetization in an all carbon material, we perform density functional theory calculations to investigate vacancy and Stone-Wales type point defects in monolayer C3N. We compare and contrast the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of these defects with those in graphene. While monovacancies and Stone-Wales defects of C3N result in reconstructions similar to those in graphene, divacancies display dissimilar geometrical features. Different from graphene, all vacancies in C3N have metallic character because of altered stoichiometry; those that have low-coordinated atoms have finite magnetic moments. We further investigate the robustness of the reconstructed structures and the changes in the magnetic moments by applying tensile and compressive biaxial strain. We find that, with the advantage of finite bandgap, point defects in C3N are qualified as good candidates for future spintronics applications.

    Tuning Thermal Transport in Graphene Via Combinations of Molecular Antiresonances
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Sevim, Koray; Sevinçli, Haldun
    We propose a method to engineer the phonon thermal transport properties of low dimensional systems. The method relies on introducing a predetermined combination of molecular adsorbates, which give rise to antiresonances at frequencies specific to the molecular species. Despite their dissimilar transmission spectra, thermal resistances due to individual molecules remain almost the same for all species. On the other hand, thermal resistance due to combinations of different species are not additive and show large differences depending on the species. Using a toy model, the physics underlying the violation of resistance summation rule is investigated. It is demonstrated that equivalent resistance of two scatterers having the same resistances can be close to the sum of the constituents or ∼ 70% of it depending on the relative positions of the antiresonances. The relative positions of the antiresonances determine the net change in transmission, therefore the equivalent resistance. Since the entire spectrum is involved in phonon spectrum changes in different parts of the spectrum become important. Performing extensive first-principles based computations, we show that these distinctive attributes of phonon transport can be useful to tailor the thermal transport through low dimensional materials, especially for thermoelectric and thermal management applications.

    Structural, Vibrational, and Electronic Properties of Single-Layer Hexagonal Crystals of Group Iv and V Elements
    (American Physical Society, 2018) Özdamar, Burak; Özbal, Gözde; Çınar, Mustafa Neşet; Sevim, Koray; Kurt, Gizem; Kaya, Birnur; Sevinçli, Haldun
    Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate a family of stable two-dimensional crystals with chemical formula A2B2, where A and B belong to groups IV and V, respectively (A=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; B=N, P, As, Sb, Bi). Two structural symmetries of hexagonal lattices P6m2 and P3m1 are shown to be dynamically stable, named as α- and β -phases correspondingly. Both phases have similar cohesive energies, and the α phase is found to be energetically favorable for structures except CP, CAs, CSb, and CBi, for which the β phase is favored. The effects of spin-orbit coupling and Hartree-Fock corrections to exchange correlation are included to elucidate the electronic structures. All structures are semiconductors except CBi and PbN, which have metallic character. SiBi, GeBi, and SnBi have direct band gaps, whereas the remaining semiconductor structures have indirect band gaps. All structures have quartic dispersion in their valence bands, some of which make the valence band maximum and resemble a mexican-hat shape. SnAs and PbAs have purely quartic valence band edges, i.e., E-αk4, a property reported for the first time. The predicted materials are candidates for a variety of applications. Owing to their wide band gaps, CP, SiN, SiP, SiAs, GeN, GeP can find their applications in optoelectronics. The relative band positions qualify a number of the structures as suitable for water splitting, where CN and SiAs are favorable at all pH values. Structures with quartic band edges are expected to be efficient for thermoelectric applications.

    One dimensional photonic crystal waveguide
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Sevim, Koray; Sözüer, Hüseyin Sami
    This thesis deals with the implementation of a numerical method to describe how electromagnetic waves propagate through a one-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. The one-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide is a periodic arrangement of dielectric slabs of alternating dielectric constant with an impurity slab introduced as the guiding layer. This impurity guides, and connes light within a given range of frequencies by producing waveguide modes within the photonic band gap. These modes are different from those of conventional waveguides that use total internal reflection as the basic guiding mechanism. Photonic crystal waveguides are expected to lead to compact photonic integrated circuits.
