Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Writing Chemical Patterns Using Electrospun Fibers as Nanoscale Inkpots for Directed Assembly of Colloidal Nanocrystals(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2020) Kiremitler, N. Burak; Torun, Ilker; Altintas, Yemliha; Patarroyo, Javier; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Puntes, Victor F.; Onses, M. SerdarApplications that range from electronics to biotechnology will greatly benefit from low-cost, scalable and multiplex fabrication of spatially defined arrays of colloidal inorganic nanocrystals. In this work, we present a novel additive patterning approach based on the use of electrospun nanofibers (NFs) as inkpots for end-functional polymers. The localized grafting of end-functional polymers from spatially defined nanofibers results in covalently bound chemical patterns. The main factors that determine the width of the nanopatterns are the diameter of the NF and the extent of spreading during the thermal annealing process. Lowering the surface energy of the substrates via silanization and a proper choice of the grafting conditions enable the fabrication of nanoscale patterns over centimeter length scales. The fabricated patterns of end-grafted polymers serve as the templates for spatially defined assembly of colloidal metal and metal oxide nanocrystals of varying sizes (15 to 100 nm), shapes (spherical, cube, rod), and compositions (Au, Ag, Pt, TiO2), as well as semiconductor quantum dots, including the assembly of semiconductor nanoplatelets.Article Citation - WoS: 53Citation - Scopus: 59Thickness-Tunable Self-Assembled Colloidal Nanoplatelet Films Enable Ultrathin Optical Gain Media(Amer Chemical Soc, 2020-07-31) Erdem, Onur; Foroutan, Sina; Gheshlaghi, Negar; Guzelturk, Burak; Altintas, Yemliha; Demir, Hilmi VolkanWe propose and demonstrate construction of highly uniform, multilayered superstructures of CdSe/CdZnS core/shell colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) using liquid interface self-assembly. These NPLs are sequentially deposited onto a solid substrate into slabs having monolayer-precise thickness across tens of cm(2) areas. Because of near-unity surface coverage and excellent uniformity, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is observed from an uncharacteristically thin film having 6 NPL layers, corresponding to a mere 42 nm thickness. Furthermore, systematic studies on optical gain of these NPL superstructures having thicknesses ranging from 6 to 15 layers revealed the gradual reduction in gain threshold with increasing number of layers, along with a continuous spectral shift of the ASE peak (similar to 18 nm). These observations can be explained by the change in the optical mode confinement factor with the NPL waveguide thickness and propagation wavelength. This bottom-up construction technique for thickness-tunable, three-dimensional NPL superstructures can be used for large-area device fabrication.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 21The Measurements of Electrical and Thermal Conductivity Variations With Temperature and Phonon Component of the Thermal Conductivity in Sn-Cd Sn-In Sn-Ag and Sn-Bi Alloys(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2016-02) Altintas, Yemliha; Kaygisiz, Yusuf; Ozturk, Esra; Aksoz, Sezen; Keslioglu, Kazim; Marasli, Necmettin; Kayglslz, Yusuf; Altlntas, YemlihaThe electrical and thermal conductivity variations with temperature for lead-free ternary solders, namely Sn-41.39 at.% Cd-6.69 at.% Sb, Sn-49 at.% In-1 at.% Cu, Sn-50 at.% Ag-10 at.% Bi and Sn-32 at.% Bi-3 at.% Zn alloys, were measured by the d.c. four-point probe method and radial heat flow apparatus, respectively. The contributions of electrons and phonons to the thermal conductivity were separately determined by using the measured values of the thermal and electrical conductivities obtained by the Wiedemann-Franz law in the lead-free ternary solders. The percentages of the phonon component of thermal conductivity were found to be in the range of 46-55%, 46-50%, 38-47% and 69-73% for Sn-41.39 at.% Cd-6.69 at.% SU, Sn-49 at.% In-1 at.% Cu, Sn-50 at.% Ag-10 at.% Bi and Sn-32 at.% Bi-3 at.% Zn alloys at the ranges of 318-443 K temperature, respectively. The temperature coefficients (alpha) of electrical conductivity for the lead-free ternary solders were found to be 2.47 x 10(-3), 4.97 x 10(-3), 1.14 x 10(-3) and 1.00 x 10(-3) K-1, respectively. The thermal conductivities of the solid phases at their melting temperature and the thermal temperature coefficients for the lead-free ternary solders were also found to be 47.72 +/- 2.38, 68.57 +/- 3.42, 73.52 +/- 3.67, 37.53 +/- 1.87 W/Km and 1.47 x 10(-3), 1.48 x 10(-3), 1.85 x 10(-3) and 2.21 x 10(-3) K-1, respectively.

We have systematically studied the synthesis and characterization of InPZnS/ZnS QDs using short and long chain length ligands i.e., butyric (C4), hexanoic (C6), octanoic (C8), dodecanoic (C12), myristic (C14), palmitic (C16) and stearic acids (C18), respectively. This study achieved more than 85% quantum yield with 43 nm full-width-half maximum value, using dodecanoic acid as the capping ligand. The properties of the QDs with short and long chain length ligands have been analyzed using UV Vis absorption spectrophotometer, steady state and time resolved photoluminescence spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, Zeta sizer, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Thanks to the ultranarrow emission linewidth, high-extinction coefficient, and high photostability, NPLs offer an exciting opportunity for high-performance optoelectronics. However, until now, the applications of these NPLs are limited to available discrete emission ranges, limiting the full potential of these exotic materials as efficient light emitters. Here, we introduce a detailed systematic study on the synthesis of NPLs based on the alloying mechanisms in core/shell, core/alloyed shell, alloyed core/shell, and alloyed core/alloyed shell heterostructures. Through the engineering of the band gap supported by the theoretical calculations, we carefully designed and successfully synthesized the NPL emitters with continuously tunable emission. Unlike conventional NPLs showing discrete emission, here, we present highly efficient core/shell NPLs with fine spectral tunability from green to deep-red spectra. As an important demonstration of these efficient emitters, the first-time implementation of yellow NPL light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has been reported with record device performance, including the current efficiency surpassing 18.2 cd A(-1), power efficiency reaching 14.8 lm W-1, and record luminance exceeding 46 900 cd m(-2). This fine and wide-range color tunability in the visible range from stable and efficient core/shell NPLs is expected to be extremely important for the optoelectronic applications of the family of colloidal NPL emitters.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 9Single-Mode Lasing From a Single 7 nm Thick Monolayer of Colloidal Quantum Wells in a Monolithic Microcavity(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2021-03-03) Foroutan-Barenji, Sina; Erdem, Onur; Delikanli, Savas; Yagci, Huseyin Bilge; Gheshlaghi, Negar; Altintas, Yemliha; Demir, Hilmi VolkanIn this work, the first account of monolithically-fabricated vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) of densely-packed, orientation-controlled, atomically flat colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) using a self-assembly method and demonstrate single-mode lasing from a record thin colloidal gain medium with a film thickness of 7 nm under femtosecond optical excitation is reported. Specially engineered CQWs are used to demonstrate these hybrid CQW-VCSELs consisting of only a few layers to a single monolayer of CQWs and are achieved the lasing from these thin gain media by thoroughly modeling and implementing a vertical cavity consisting of distributed Bragg reflectors with an additional dielectric layer for mode tuning. Accurate spectral and spatial alignment of the cavity mode with the CQW films is secured with the help of full electromagnetic computations. While overcoming the long-pending problem of limited electrical conductivity in thicker colloidal films, such ultrathin colloidal gain media can be helpful to enable fully electrically-driven colloidal lasers.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 25Self-Resonant Microlasers of Colloidal Quantum Wells Constructed by Direct Deep Patterning(Amer Chemical Soc, 2021-05-24) Gheshlaghi, Negar; Foroutan-Barenji, Sina; Erdem, Onur; Altintas, Yemliha; Shabani, Farzan; Humayun, Muhammad Hamza; Demir, Hilmi VolkanHere, the first account of self-resonant fully colloidal mu-lasers made from colloidal quantum well (CQW) solution is reported. A deep patterning technique is developed to fabricate well-defined high aspect-ratio on-chip CQW resonators made of grating waveguides and in-plane reflectors. The fabricated waveguide-coupled laser, enabling tight optical confinement, assures in-plane lasing. CQWs of the patterned layers are closed-packed with sharp edges and residual-free lifted-off surfaces. Additionally, the method is successfully applied to various nanoparticles including colloidal quantum dots and metal nanoparticles. It is observed that the patterning process does not affect the nanocrystals (NCs) immobilized in the attained patterns and the different physical and chemical properties of the NCs remain pristine. Thanks to the deep patterning capability of the proposed method, patterns of NCs with subwavelength lateral feature sizes and micron-scale heights can possibly be fabricated in high aspect ratios.Article Citation - WoS: 128Citation - Scopus: 136Record High External Quantum Efficiency of 19.2% Achieved in Light-Emitting Diodes of Colloidal Quantum Wells Enabled by Hot-Injection Shell Growth(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2019-12-23) Liu, Baiquan; Altintas, Yemliha; Wang, Lin; Shendre, Sushant; Sharma, Manoj; Sun, Handong; Demir, Hilmi VolkanColloidal quantum wells (CQWs) are regarded as a highly promising class of optoelectronic materials, thanks to their unique excitonic characteristics of high extinction coefficients and ultranarrow emission bandwidths. Although the exploration of CQWs in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is impressive, the performance of CQW-LEDs lags far behind other types of soft-material LEDs (e.g., organic LEDs, colloidal-quantum-dot LEDs, and perovskite LEDs). Herein, high-efficiency CQW-LEDs reaching close to the theoretical limit are reported. A key factor for this high performance is the exploitation of hot-injection shell (HIS) growth of CQWs, which enables a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), reduces nonradiative channels, ensures smooth films, and enhances the stability. Remarkably, the PLQY remains 95% in solution and 87% in film despite rigorous cleaning. Through systematically understanding their shape-, composition-, and device-engineering, the CQW-LEDs using CdSe/Cd0.25Zn0.75S core/HIS CQWs exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency of 19.2%. Additionally, a high luminance of 23 490 cd m(-2), extremely saturated red color with the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.715, 0.283), and stable emission are obtained. The findings indicate that HIS-grown CQWs enable high-performance solution-processed LEDs, which may pave the path for future CQW-based display and lighting technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Optical Gain in Ultrathin Self-Assembled Bi-Layers of Colloidal Quantum Wells Enabled by the Mode Confinement in Their High-Index Dielectric Waveguides(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2020-10-20) Foroutan-Barenji, Sina; Erdem, Onur; Gheshlaghi, Negar; Altintas, Yemliha; Demir, Hilmi VolkanThis study demonstrates an ultra-thin colloidal gain medium consisting of bi-layers of colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) with a total film thickness of 14 nm integrated with high-index dielectrics. To achieve optical gain from such an ultra-thin nanocrystal film, hybrid waveguide structures partly composed of self-assembled layers of CQWs and partly high-index dielectric material are developed and shown: in asymmetric waveguide architecture employing one thin film of dielectric underneath CQWs and in the case of quasi-symmetric waveguide with a pair of dielectric films sandwiching CQWs. Numerical modeling indicates that the modal confinement factor of ultra-thin CQW films is enhanced in the presence of the adjacent dielectric layers significantly. The active slabs of these CQW monolayers in the proposed waveguide structure are constructed with great care to obtain near-unity surface coverage, which increases the density of active particles, and to reduce the surface roughness to sub-nm scale, which decreases the scattering losses. The excitation and propagation of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) along these active waveguides are experimentally demonstrated and numerically analyzed. The findings of this work offer possibilities for the realization of ultra-thin electrically driven colloidal laser devices, providing critical advantages including single-mode lasing and high electrical conduction.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Near-Field Energy Transfer Into Silicon Inversely Proportional to Distance Using Quasi-2D Colloidal Quantum Well Donors(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2021-09-12) Humayun, Muhammad Hamza; Hernandez-Martinez, Pedro Ludwig; Gheshlaghi, Negar; Erdem, Onur; Altintas, Yemliha; Shabani, Farzan; Demir, Hilmi VolkanSilicon is the most prevalent material system for light-harvesting applications; however, its inherent indirect bandgap and consequent weak absorption limits its potential in optoelectronics. This paper proposes to address this limitation by combining the sensitization of silicon with extraordinarily large absorption cross sections of quasi-2D colloidal quantum well nanoplatelets (NPLs) and to demonstrate excitation transfer from these NPLs to bulk silicon. Here, the distance dependency, d, of the resulting Forster resonant energy transfer from the NPL monolayer into a silicon substrate is systematically studied by tuning the thickness of a spacer layer (of Al2O3) in between them (varied from 1 to 50 nm in thickness). A slowly varying distance dependence of d(-1) with 25% efficiency at a donor-acceptor distance of 20 nm is observed. These results are corroborated with full electromagnetic solutions, which show that the inverse distance relationship emanates from the delocalized electric field intensity across both the NPL layer and the silicon because of the excitation of strong in-plane dipoles in the NPL monolayer. These findings pave the way for using colloidal NPLs as strong light-harvesting donors in combination with crystalline silicon as an acceptor medium for application in photovoltaic devices and other optoelectronic platforms.
