A theoretical study of strained monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides based on simple band structures
(Bilkent University, 2019-11)This doctoral thesis deals with optoelectronic and geometric band properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) under applied strain. First, we analyze various types of strain for the K valley ... -
Theory of atomic scale friction
(Bilkent University, 1998)Friction is an old and important but at the same time very complex physical event. This thesis aims to develop an atomic scale theory of friction. VVe investigate various atomic processes and stick-slip motion by using ... -
Titanium dioxide nanostructures for photocatalytic and photovoltaic applications
(Bilkent University, 2008)In this thesis, TiO2 nanostructures and their photocatalytic and photovoltaic ap- plications have been investigated by using the ¯rst-principles calculations based on density functional theory. We have concentrated on ... -
Topological aspects of charge transport in quantum many-body systems
(Bilkent University, 2019-02)Motivated by the recent proposals and developments of topological insulators and topological superconductors for their potential applications in electronic devices and quantum computing, we have theoretically studied ... -
Ultra-low noise fiber laser systems and their applications
(Bilkent University, 2014)Fiber laser systems are intensely studied for and already utilized in a wide range of scientific, biomedical and industrial applications. Scientifically, fiber lasers are widely used for spectroscopy, laser-matter ... -
Unconventional superconductivity in two dimensional time reversal symmetric noncentrosymmetric superconductors
(Bilkent University, 2017-09)In this thesis we study unconventional pairing observed in noncentrosymmetric superconductors by using spin dependent pairing potentials under the maximal C∞v and the time reversal symmetries (Θ-phase). The lack of ...
