    Ultra-Durable Information-Encoded Anti-Counterfeiting Self-Assembled Nanocrystal Labels
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-11-28) Haddadifam, Taha; Shabani, Farzan; Kalay, Mustafa; Khaligh, Aisan; Mutlugun, Evren; Onses, Mustafa Serdar; Demir, Hilmi Volkan
    Forgery, a serious universal problem, is causing huge economic losses every year. Against forgery, information-encoded labelling systems have attracted significant attention for a diverse range of anti-counterfeiting applications. Here, cost-effective and ultra-durable nanocrystal-based labels are proposed and demonstrated in which information can be encoded as physically unclonable functions (PUFs) of hardware-oriented security systems. The fabrication method of the PUFs is based on the self-assembly of colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) and generation of unclonable features within their pattern at a liquid-liquid interface. These CQW PUFs are analyzed with well-known statistical tests, which show a uniqueness level of 0.5060 +/- 0.0323 and prove their randomness. In addition, a feature-matching algorithm is used to authenticate these information-encoded CQW PUFs. For the safety of the semiconductor chips, a CQW PUF is attached to the surface of the chip to protect against hardware cyber-attacks. Eventually, fabricated labels are examined against high temperatures and moisture environments. The fabricated CQW label is durable for a period of 150 days it is tested, demonstrating ultra-high stability of the label. High stability and durability, cost-effectiveness, and high encoding capacity make these proposed nanocrystal labels extremely attractive for large-scale commercialization.

    Zinc Chalcogenide Based Shell Layers for Colloidal Quantum Wells
    (Wiley, 2025-04-27) Aldemir, Cagatay Han; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Ergezer, Nehir; Korkmaz, Taha Can; Mutlugun, Evren; Kelestemur, Yusuf
    Colloidal quantum wells, also known as colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs), have emerged as a promising class of materials for light-emitting devices (LEDs). However, the most widely studied core/shell NPLs, which rely on cadmium-based shell layers, face challenges due to toxicity concerns and improper charge confinement. To address these limitations, a new synthetic approach is presented that enables the controlled growth of zinc chalcogenide-based shell layers on NPLs. The synthesized CdSe/ZnSe core/shell NPLs exhibit emission between 615 and 630 nm, with a moderate photoluminescence quantum yield (PL-QY) of 40-50%. It is also demonstrated that the lateral dimensions of the CdSe core NPLs significantly affect the optical properties of the core/shell heterostructures, with smaller lateral dimensions resulting in narrower emission linewidths as low as 20 nm. Further passivation of these core/shell NPLs with an additional ZnS shell layer significantly increases the PL-QY up to 80-90%. Finally, the device performance of these two core/shell NPLs is investigated by fabricating solution-processed LEDs. With LEDs incorporating CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS core/multi-shell NPLs as the active light-emitting layer, an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 3.82% and a maximum brightness of 6477 cd m-2 is obtained. These findings underscore the significant potential of zinc chalcogenide-based shell layers in advancing colloidal NPLs toward high-performance light-emitting devices.

    Single-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 Volkan
    In 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.

    Self-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 Volkan
    Here, 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.

    Optical 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 Volkan
    This 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.

    Efficient Generation of Emissive Many-Body Correlations in Copper-Doped Colloidal Quantum Wells
    (Cell Press, 2022-09) Yu, Junhong; Sharma, Manoj; Li, Mingjie; Liu, Baiquan; Hernandez-Martinez, Pedro Ludwig; Delikanli, Savas; Dang, Cuong
    Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) provide an appealing platform to achieve emissive many-body correlations for novel optoelectronic devices, given that they act as hosts for strong carrier Coulomb interactions and present suppressed Auger recombination. However, the demonstrated high-order excitonic emission in CQWs requires ultrafast pumping with high excitation levels and can only be spec-trally resolved at the single-particle level under cryogenic condi-tions. Here, through systematic investigation using static power -dependent emission spectroscopy and transient carrier dynamics, we show that Cu-doped CdSe CQWs exhibit continuous-wave -pumped high-order excitonic emission at room temperature with a large binding energy of X64 meV. We attribute this unique behavior to dopant excitons in which the ultralong lifetime and the highly localized wavefunction facilitate the formation of many-body corre-lations. The spectrally resolved high-order excitonic emission gener-ated at power levels compatible with solar irradiation and electrical injection might pave the way for novel solution-processed solid-state devices.
