Thin porphyrin films as employed in modern optical devices or photovoltaic applications show deviating electronic and optical properties from the gasphase species. Any understanding of the physical origin may pave way to a specific engineering of these properties via ligand or substituent control. Here we investigate the impact of crystallization of prototypical porphyrins on the electronic levels and optical properties in the framework of density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory. Crystallization substantially shrinks the HOMO-LUMO gap based on polarization effects. We find a shift of the HOMO to higher energy is consistent with recent experiment of MgTPP multilayer film on Ag (100) [A. Classen et al., Phys. Rev. B, 2017, 95, 115414]. Calculated excitation spectra demonstrate a significant redshift of excitation bands except for the Q bands. These lowest excitation bands, in stark contrast to the strong HOMO-LUMO gap renormalization, remain essentially the same as in the gas phase. Our work underlines the possibility of band-gap engineering via ligand-controlled modification of the polarizability.

Effect of CNTs dispersion on electrical, mechanical and strain sensing properties of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites
Tanabi, Hamed; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)
The remarkable electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) render CNT-reinforced nanocomposites as potentially attractive materials for strain-sensing and monitoring purposes. The dispersion state of CNTs in polymeric matrix has a significant role on the physical and the mechanical properties of the resulting CNT reinforced nanocomposites. In this study, a series of experiments were designed to investigate the effect of dispersion process parameters and CNT concentration, as well as thei...
Effects of nucleating agent and processing conditions on the mechanical, thermal, and optical properties of biaxially oriented polypropylene films
Yuksekkalayci, C; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Orbey, N (Wiley, 1999-07-01)
The effects of nucleating agent, temperature of crystallization, and degree of machine direction (MD) orientation on the mechanical, optical, and thermal properties of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films were investigated. Addition of nucleating agent improved only the initial tear resistance in the MD; however, the other mechanical and optical properties did not change appreciably. Ln the set of experiments in which the crystallization temperature was increased, the degree of crystallinity also i...
Effect of parallel and antiparallel configuration on magnetic damping in Co/Ag/Co/Gd
Demirtas, S.; Salamon, M. B.; Koymen, A. R. (AIP Publishing, 2011-06-01)
When two ferromagnetic layers have a common resonance frequency, the usual spin-pumping broadening may be reduced by dynamic exchange coupling. Utilizing the antiferromagnetic coupling between Co and Gd, we explore the change in ferromagnetic resonance accompanying a spontaneous transition from parallel to antiparallel magnetic alignment of two Co films below the compensation temperature T-comp. Above T-comp, the data are consistent with conventional models. However, a rapid doubling of magnetic damping acc...
The valence electronic structure and conformational flexibility of epichlorohydrin
Stranges, S.; Alagia, M.; Decleva, P.; Stener, M.; Fronzoni, G.; Toffolı, Danıele; Speranza, M.; Catone, D.; Turchini, S.; Prosperi, T.; Zema, N.; Contini, G.; Keheyan, Y. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011-01-01)
The electronic structure of epichlorohydrin is investigated in the whole valence region by a combined experimental and theoretical study. The issue of controversial assignments of the molecular electronic structure is here addressed. Photoelectron spectra (PES) and Threshold Photoelectron spectra (TPES) of room temperature molecules in the gas phase are recorded. Geometries and energies of the stable conformers due to internal rotation of the C-C-C-Cl dihedral angle, gauche-II (g-II), gauche-I (g-I), and ci...
Effects of CdCl2 treatment on properties of CdTe thin films grown by evaporation at low substrate temperatures
BACAKSIZ, EMİN; ALTUNBAŞ, MUSTAFA; Yflniaz, S.; Tornakin, M.; Parlak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2007-09-01)
The structural, morphological and optical properties of vacuum-evaporated CdTe thin films were investigated as a function of substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing without and with CdCl2/treatment at 400 degrees C for 30 min. Diffraction patterns are almost the same exhibiting higher preferential orientation corresponding to (111) plane of the cubic phase. The intensity of the (111) peak increased with the CdCl2/annealing treatment. The microstructure observed for all films following the CdCl2/...
