Borofenin yeni polimorflarının araştırılması ve fonksiyonelleştirilmesi

The realization of buckled monolayer sheets of boron (i.e., borophene) and its other polymorphs has attracted signifi cant interest in the field of two-dimensional systems. Motivated by their chameleonic behavior we analyzed different polymorphs of borophene and discovered two new phases with unprecedented crystal structures namely symmetric washboard and asymmetric washboard using ab initio methods based on density functional theory. While symmetric washboard borophene is a metal with high electronic density of states in the vicinity of Fermi level asymmetric washboard borophene is a narrow band gap semiconductor. Asymmetric washboard structure is actually a 2x1 reconstructed form of symmetric structure with in plane and out of plane Peierl's distortion along the chains of boron atoms which is the key reason for the contrasting electronic behavior of these phases. Phonons dispersion calculations based on density functionalperturbation theory reveal that both structures are stable at 0 K however ab initio molecular dynamics simulations showed that symmetric washboard structure is stable only at temperatures close to absolute zero and at finite temperatures this structure gets deformed transforming into asymmetric washboard structure. Moreover we discovered that asymmetric washboard structure has a positive Poissons's ratio however symmetric one has a negative Poisson's ratio. In the next work, motivated by buckled borophene's tendency to donate electrons, we analyzed the interaction of single halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, I) with borophene. The possible adsorption sites are tested and the top of the boron atom is found as the ground state confi guration. The nature of bonding and strong chemical interaction is revealed by using projected density of states and charge difference analysis. The migration of single halogen atoms on the surface of borophene is analyzed and high diffusion barriers that decrease with atomic size are obtained. The metallicity of borophene is preserved upon adsorption but anisotropy in electrical conductivity is altered. The variation of adsorption and formation energy, interatomic distance, charge transfer, diffusion barriers, and bonding character with the type of halogen atom are explored and trends are revealed. Lastly, the adsorption of halogen molecules (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2), including the possibility of dissociation, is studied. The obtained results are substantial for fundamental understanding and possible device implementations of borophenes and their halogenated derivatives.
