“On the structural and electronic properties of Ir-silicide nanowires on Si(001) surface”. Fatima, Oguz IC, Çakir D, Hossain S, Mohottige R, Gulseren O, Oncel N, Journal of applied physics 120, 095303 (2016). http://doi.org/10.1063/1.4961550
Abstract: Iridium (Ir) modified Silicon (Si) (001) surface is studied with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy (STM/STS) and Density Functional Theory (DFT). A model for Ir-silicide nanowires based on STM images and ab-initio calculations is proposed. According to our model, the Ir adatom is on the top of the substrate dimer row and directly binds to the dimer atoms. I-V curves measured at 77K shows that the nanowires are metallic. DFT calculations confirm strong metallic nature of the nanowires. Published by AIP Publishing.

“Scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory study on zinc(II)-phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid on bilayer epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide(0001)”. Nicholls D, Li RR, Ware B, Pansegrau C, Çakir D, Hoffmann MR, Oncel N, The journal of physical chemistry: C : nanomaterials and interfaces 119, 9845 (2015). http://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.5b00864
Abstract: Zinc(II)-phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid (Zn-PcS) molecules physisorbed on bilayer epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide (SiC(0001)) were studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and density functional theory (DFT). Two different methods were used to deposit Zn-PcS molecules and regardless of the method being used, the surface coverage stayed very low indicating the weakness of surface-molecule interaction. STS measurements revealed that derivative of tunneling current with respect to voltage (dI/dV) measured on Zn-PcS molecules did not exhibit the characteristic dip observed on dI/dV curves of pristine bilayer epitaxial graphene. DFT calculations show that the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the Zn-PcS molecule is below the Dirac point of graphene which enhances local density of states (LDOS). We attribute the disappearance of the dip in the dI/dV curves measured on the Zn-PcS/bilayer system to the LUMO of Zn-PcS. Charge density calculations along Zn-PcS/graphene interface reveal that there is a small charge transfer from graphene to the molecule. Calculated adsorption energy (3.13 eV) of the molecule is notably low and is consistent with the observed low surface coverage at room temperature.

“Angle-resolved synchrotron photoemission and density functional theory on the iridium modified Si(111) surface”. Oncel N, Çakir D, Dil JH, Slomski B, Landolt G, Journal of physics : condensed matter 26, 285501 (2014). http://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/26/28/285501
Abstract: The physical and electronic properties of the Ir modified Si(1 1 1) surface have been investigated with the help of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory. The surface consists of Ir-ring clusters that form a root 7 x root 7 -R19.1 degrees reconstruction. A comparison between the measured and calculated band structure of the system reveals that the dispersions of the projected bulk states and the states originating from '1x1' domains are heavily modified due to Umklapp scattering from the surface Brillouin zone. Density of states calculations show that Ir-ring clusters contribute to the states in the vicinity of the Fermi level.
