    Logarithmic organic photodetectors
    (ELSEVIER, 2015) Elgazzar, Elsayed; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Usta, Hakan; Al-Ghamdi, Ahmed A.; DERE, Ayşegül; El-Tantawy, Farid; Yakuphanoglu, F.; 0000-0001-5790-2943; 0000-0002-0618-1979; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Usta, Hakan
    A novel photodetector of Al/GO:C8-BTBT/n-Si/Au with various graphene oxide (GO) contents has been investigated. The electrical properties of the diodes were characterized by current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements. The values of barrier height, ideality factor, and series resistance of the diodes were determined from I–V characteristic curves by using Norde’s equations. The photocurrent properties of the diode were studied under various illumination intensities. The photoconducting mechanism of the diodes is controlled by the traps. The photoresponse properties of the diodes are increased with GO contents. The obtained results indicate that graphene oxide doped 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene/n-Si heterojunctions can be used as a photodetector for optoelectronic applications.

    Micro-/Nanostructured Highly Crystalline Organic Semiconductor Films for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Applications
    (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2015) Yilmaz, Mehmet; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Erdogan, Hakan; Tamer, Ugur; Sen, Unal; Facchetti, Antonio; Usta, Hakan; Demirel, Gokhan; 0000-0003-3736-5049; 0000-0002-0618-1979; 0000-0001-5790-2943; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Usta, Hakan; Sen, Unal
    The utilization of inorganic semiconductors for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has attracted enormous interest. However, despite the technological relevance of organic semiconductors for enabling inexpensive, large-area, and flexible devices via solution processing techniques, these p-conjugated systems have never been investigated for SERS applications. Here for the first time, a simple and versatile approach is demonstrated for the fabrication of novel SERS platforms based on micro-/nanostructured 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1] benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) thin films via an oblique-angle vapor deposition. The morphology of C8-BTBT thin films is manipulated by varying the deposition angle, thus achieving highly favorable 3D vertically aligned ribbon-like micro-/nanostructures for a 90 degrees deposition angle. By combining C8-BTBT semiconductor films with a nanoscopic thin Au layer, remarkable SERS responses are achieved in terms of enhancement (approximate to 10(8)), stability (>90 d), and reproducibility (RSD < 0.14), indicating the great promise of Au/C8-BTBT films as SERS platforms. Our results demonstrate the first example of an organic semiconductor-based SERS platform with excellent detection characteristics, indicating that p-conjugated organic semiconductors have a great potential for SERS applications.

    Nanostructured organic semiconductor films for molecular detection with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
    (NATURE RESEARCHHEIDELBERGER PLATZ 3, BERLIN 14197, GERMANY, 2017) Yilmaz, Mehmet; Babur, Esra; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Gieseking, Rebecca L.; Dede, Yavuz; Tamer, Ugur; Schatz, George C.; Facchetti, Antonio; Usta, Hakan; Demirel, Gokhan; 0000-0002-0618-1979; 0000-0001-5790-2943; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Usta, Hakan
    pi-Conjugated organic semiconductors have been explored in several optoelectronic devices, yet their use in molecular detection as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active platforms is unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that SERS-active, superhydrophobic and ivy-like nanostructured films of a molecular semiconductor, alpha,omega-diperfluorohexylquaterthiophene (DFH-4T), can be easily fabricated by vapour deposition. DFH-4T films without any additional plasmonic layer exhibit unprecedented Raman signal enhancements up to 3.4 x 10(3) for the probe molecule methylene blue. The combination of quantum mechanical computations, comparative experiments with a fluorocarbon-free alpha,omega-dihexylquaterthiophene (DH-4T), and thin-film microstructural analysis demonstrates the fundamental roles of the pi-conjugated core fluorocarbon substitution and the unique DFH-4T film morphology governing the SERS response. Furthermore, Raman signal enhancements up to similar to 10(10) and sub-zeptomole (< 10(-21) mole) analyte detection were accomplished by coating the DFH-4T films with a thin gold layer. Our results offer important guidance for the molecular design of SERS-active organic semiconductors and easily fabricable SERS platforms for ultrasensitive trace analysis.

    Heterocyclic maleic anhydride derivatives have been extensively studied in natural products chemistry over the past few decades. However, their incorporation into optoelectronic devices has lagged behind that of other pi-conjugated systems, and they have never been studied in white light emitting diodes (WLEDs). The development of emissive pi-conjugated materials for (WLEDs) has been an emerging scientific and technological research area to replace phosphors used in LED-based solid-state lighting. Here, we demonstrate the design, synthesis and characterization of two new highly emissive alkyl-substituted bis(thienyl)maleic anhydrides (C6-Th2MA and C12-Th2MA) with favorable photophysical properties. The new core is synthesized via a novel trans-to-cis isomerization-assisted one-pot reaction, which is demonstrated for the first time in the literature for the synthesis of a bis(heteroaryl)maleic anhydride. Due to its favorable absorption and fluorescence properties in the blue and yellow region of the visible spectrum, respectively, C12-Th2MA is studied as a potential wavelength-upconverting material. A WLED fabricated by drop-casting a polymeric solution of C12-Th2MA on a blue LED (InGaN, 455 nm) yields promising CIE coordinates and color-rendering index (CRI) values of (0.24, 0.20) and 65.0, respectively. Considering the simplicity of the current molecular structure and facile synthesis, alkyl-substituted bis(thienyl)maleic anhydrides stand as ideal phosphor alternatives. Therefore, the current findings may open new perspectives for the development of maleic anhydride-based small molecules for low-cost, energy-efficient, and solution-processed lighting technologies.
