Frictional properties of quasi-two-dimensional materials from the Prandtl-Tomlinson model
(Bilkent University, 2016-09)Tribology, the study of friction, is both an old theoretical problem in physics and an area of great practical importance. The invention of experimental instruments such as Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has lead to the ... -
Magnetization of silicene via coverage with gadolinium: effects of thickness, symmetry, strain, and coverage
(American Physical Society, 2021-12-14)When covered by gadolinium (Gd) atoms, silicene, a freestanding monolayer of Si atoms in a honeycomb network, remains stable above the room temperature and becomes a two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductor, despite ... -
Novel honeycomb nanostructures for energy storage and nanoscale device design
(Bilkent University, 2015-06)This thesis presents a variety of new two dimensional honeycomb-like structures and heterostructures; the main objective being to determine their fundamental electronic, magnetic, mechanical and optical properties for ... -
Silicene dynamic optical response in the presence of external electric and exchange fields
(Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd., 2022-01-04)We investigate the dynamic optical transition of monolayer silicene in the presence of external electric and exchange fields within the low-energy tight-binding model. Applying external electric and exchange fields breaks ...
