Article Citation - WoS: 265Citation - Scopus: 276Nanostructured Organic Semiconductor Films for Molecular Detection With Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-07) Yilmaz, Mehmet; Babur, Esra; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Gieseking, Rebecca L.; Dede, Yavuz; Tamer, Ugur; Demirel, Gokhanpi-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.Article Citation - WoS: 110Citation - Scopus: 116Bodipy-Based Semiconducting Materials for Organic Bulk Heterojunction Photovoltaics and Thin-Film Transistors(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2018-12-13) Ho, Dongil; Ozdemir, Resul; Kim, Hyungsug; Earmme, Taeshik; Usta, Hakan; Kim, ChoongikThe rapid emergence of organic (opto)electronics as a promising alternative to conventional (opto)electronics has been achieved through the design and development of novel pi-conjugated systems. Among various semiconducting structural platforms, 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) pi-systems have recently attracted attention for use in organic thin-films transistors (OTFTs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). This Review article provides an overview of the developments in the past 10 years on the structural design and synthesis of BODIPY-based organic semiconductors and their application in OTFT/OPV devices. The findings summarized and discussed here include the most recent breakthroughs in BODIPYs with record-high charge carrier mobilities and power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). The most up-to-date design rationales and discussions providing a strong understanding of structure-property-function relationships in BODIPY-based semiconductors are presented. Thus, this review is expected to inspire new research for future materials developments/applications in this family of molecules.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Atomic Structure of Amorphous CDO from First Principles Simulations(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015-03) Durandurdu, MuratAmorphous CdO (a-CdO) is obtained by cooling the liquid at a sufficiently fast cooling rate using first-principles simulations. The topology of the amorphous model is examined using a variety of analyzing techniques. The local structural arrangement of a-CdO is found to be partially similar to that of crystalline phase. The model is chemically ordered but consists of a significant amount of coordination defects. a-CdO is predicted to be a semiconductor with a band gap energy less than the crystalline state. It is likely that a-CdO might serve as a novel electronic material. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

The new semiconductor exhibits a low LUMO energy (-4.19 eV) and a narrow optical bandgap (1.35 eV). The typical pseudo-focal-conic fan-shaped texture of a hexagonal columnar liquid-crystalline (LC) phase was observed over a wide temperature range. The spin-coated semiconductor thin films show the formation of large (approximate to 0.5-1 mu m) and highly crystalline platelike grains with edge-on molecular orientations. Low-temperature-annealed (50 degrees C) top-contact/bottom-gate OFETs have provided good electron obility values as high as 0.11 cm(2) (Vs)(-1) and high I-on/I-off ratios of 10(7) to 10(8) with excellent ambient stability. This indicates an enhancement of two orders of magnitude (100 V) when compared with the b-substituted parent semiconductor, beta-DD-TIFDMT (2,2'-(2,8-bis(3-dodecylthiophen- 2-yl) indeno[1,2-b] fluorene-6,12-diylidene) dimalononitrile). The current rational alkyl-chain engineering route offers great advantages for D-A-D pi-core coplanarity in addition to maintaining good solubility in organic solvents, and leads to favorable optoelectronic/physicochemical characteristics. These remarkable findings demonstrate that alpha,omega-2OD-TIFDMT is a promising semiconductor material for the development of n-channel OFETs on flexible plastic substrates and LC-state annealing of the columnar liquid crystals can lower the electron mobility for transistor-type charge transport.
