Bias voltage control of a molecular spin valve
(Bilkent University, 2009)With the discovery of giant magneto resistance a new field called spintronics is emerged. Utilizing spin-degree of freedom of the electron as well as its charge, high-speed devices which consumes low energy can be designed. ... -
Electro-magnetic properties and phononic energy dissipation in graphene based structures
(Bilkent University, 2008)With the synthesis of a single atomic plane of graphite, namely graphene honeycomb structure, active research has been focused on the massless Dirac fermion behavior and related artifacts of the electronic bands crossing ... -
Spintronic properties of carbon and silicon based nanostructures
(Bilkent University, 2007)In this thesis, nanostructures which may display novel spintronic behaviors are revealed and their properties are investigated by using first-principles methods. We have concentrated on three different systems, namely ...
