Investigation of dual-narrowband plasmonic perfect absorbers at visible frequencies for biosensing
(Bilkent University, 2019-12)Since the introduction of first plasmonic perfect absorber (PA) in early 2008 by Landy et al., numerous studies have demonstrated their superior optical performance in frequencies ranging from terahertz to visible region ... -
A novel method for thermal conductivity measurement of two dimensional materials
(Bilkent University, 2019-09)Thermal conductivity is a quantity which governs the heat transfer in a material. After increasing importance of efficiency in power generation systems and cooling mechanisms in micro-structures, many measurement methods ... -
Temperature dependent density profiles and collective oscillations of dipolar droplets
(Bilkent University, 2019-09)Dipolar droplets are a novel form of Bose gas that form in a regime where the mean field theory predicts collapse. In the literature, the beyond mean field e ects in the form of the Lee-Huang-Yang correction to the local ... -
Logistic cellular automata
(Bilkent University, 2019-09)Cellular Automata (CA), initially formalized to investigate self-reproducing constructions, are among the most frequently used tools to model and understand complex systems. These computational frameworks are de ned in ... -
Dynamics of a two leg ladder under a time dependent artificial magnetic field
(Bilkent University, 2019-09)Especially in the last two decades, there have been intensive theoretical and experimental studies on the periodically driven quantum systems. The reasons for these intensive studies are the emergence of new topological ... -
Haldane phase in the bond-alternating spin-1/2 XXZ chain: DMRG and fermionization studies
(Bilkent University, 2019-01)In this thesis, the subject of study is the Haldane phase in bond - alternating XXZ chain with S =1/2. We firstly mapped our model to the fermionic chain by the use of standard Jordan-Wigner Transformation, which leads ... -
Ground state energy of the fröhlich polaron as a function of dimensionality and the phonon coupling strength
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)We use the trial polaron wave function introduced by Devreese et al. [1] to estimate the ground state energies of the Fröhlich polaron over a broad range of the phonon coupling strength by a variational approach. We ... -
Investigation of thermoelectric properties of 2D β-silicon monotelluride (site)
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)Thermoelectric properties of novel 2D silicon monotelluride (SiTe) are studied using first principles calculations. The plane wave method based on density functional theory as implemented in Vienna ab initio simulation ... -
Large-scale semi-empirical pseudopotential electronic structure of self-assembled ingaas quantum dots
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)The so-called second quantum revolution emerged at the beginning of the second millennium, opening up a path to realization of spin-qubit-based quantum computing by means of controlling and protecting quantum coherent ... -
Variational study of interacting su-schrieffer-heeger model
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)The interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with nearest neighbor interaction in one dimension at half-filling is studied. To obtain ground state wave function, the Baeriswyl variational wave function is extended to account ... -
Electrostatic correlations in inhomogeneous electrolytes
(Bilkent University, 2018-08)The field-theoretic approach is used to obtain the self-consistent equations for inhomogeneuos symmetric electrolytes. The perturbative Green's function method is used to solve these self-consistent equations for an ... -
Gravitational waves from binary black hole systems in inspiralling phase
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)Binary black hole systems have three phases: inspiralling, merger and ringdown phases. This thesis is a review of methods developed to study the inspiralling phase analytically. Those methods include post Minkowskian ... -
Hyperfine and electric quadrupolar interaction-driven loschmidt echo in nanoscale nuclear spin baths
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)Environmental dynamics in solid state matrix is of much importance for quantum information processing and storage purposes. Here, we first give a basic recipe to get Loschmidt echo (LE) which is a measure of decoherence ... -
Sonic Hawking Radiation from a blackhole laser
(Bilkent University, 2018-06)The quantum thermal radiation from a black hole (BH) known as “Hawking Radiation” or “Black Hole Evaporation” results from studying quantum fields in the curved space-time of the horizon of a BH. Experimentally, the ... -
Investigation of optical residual absorption in graphene
(Bilkent University, 2018-03)Graphene, a 2-dimensional crystal of carbon, can absorb 2.3% of light over a very broad spectrum. Doped graphene, however has a gap in optical absorption due to the Pauli blocking principle. For doped graphene, the interband ... -
Modeling of semiconductor devices based on quantum wells: quantum cascade laser as an example
(Bilkent University, 2018-02)It has been two decades since the quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) have emerged in 1994 for the first time. As time goes on, QCLs reach to higher points scientifically and economically and the usage of QCLs devices continually ... -
Model description of friction on planar and buckled two dimensional materials
(Bilkent University, 2018-01)The law of friction has been known since the 18th century but yet, the development on the tribology field was established in the last decades mainly by the invention of frictional force microscope (FFM), which enabled ... -
Tight binding modeling of two dimensional and quasi-two dimensional materials
(Bilkent University, 2017-10)Since the advent of graphene, two-dimensional (2D) materials have consistently been studied owing to their exceptional electronic and optical properties. While graphene is completely two-dimensional in nature, its other ... -
Energy and angular momentum transfer with circular Rydberg states
(Bilkent University, 2017-08)Circular states belong to a class of Rydberg states having maximum angular momentum. These states, compared to other Rydberg states, have longer lifetimes, and in the classical limit resemble circular Bohr-like orbits. ... -
