Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 46The Linear Optical Properties of a Multi-Shell Spherical Quantum Dot of a Parabolic Confinement for Cases With and Without a Hydrogenic Impurity(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2012-10-31) Sahin, Mehmet; Koksal, KorayThroughout this work, we aim to explore the linear optical properties of a semiconductor multi-shell spherical quantum dot with and without a hydrogenic donor impurity. The core and well layers are defined by the parabolic electronic potentials in the radial direction. The energy levels and corresponding wavefunctions of the structure are calculated by using the shooting technique in the framework of the effective-mass approximation. We investigate the intersublevel absorption coefficients of a single electron and the hydrogenic donor impurity comparatively as a function of the photon energy. In addition, we carry out the effect of a donor impurity and the layer thickness on the oscillator strengths and magnitude and position of absorption coefficient peaks. We illustrate the electron probability distribution and variation of the energy levels in cases with and without the impurity for different thicknesses of layers. This kind of structure gives an opportunity to tune and control the absorption coefficient of the system by changing three different thickness parameters. Also it provides a possibility to separate 0s and 1p electrons in different regions of the quantum dot.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11The Intersubband Optical Properties of a Two-Electron Quantum Dot-Quantum Well Heterostructure(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-10) Aydin, Rasit; Tas, Hatice; Sahin, MehmetIn this paper, both linear and third-order nonlinear optical properties of two-electron in a semiconductor core/shell/well/shell quantum dot (QD) heterostructure for cases with and without a hydrogenic donor impurity have been investigated in a detailed manner as depending on the structure parameters. For this purpose, first, the energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions of the structure have been computed as a function of the layer thicknesses by means of the self-consistent solution of the Poisson and Schrodinger equations in envelope function effective mass approximation. Second, using these energy eigenvalues and their wave functions obtained from the calculations, both linear and third-order nonlinear optical properties of the multi-shell QD (MSQD) with two-electron have been determined as a function of the photon energies and shell thicknesses. Also, all procedures mentioned above have been repeated for negatively charged donor impurity (D-) located in the center of the same structure. Finally, obtained results have been presented comparatively for cases with and without the impurity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The depth and the curvature of the potential are changed by varying confinement parameters and the influence of the constraining conditions on the system properties like the density profile, the kinetic and the potential energy of the fermionic system is analyzed comprehensively. The deviations of the results due to the Gaussian potential are also determined by comparing the results with those obtained for pure harmonic potential. Calculations are also performed analytically for non-interacting case for comparative purposes. The results show that the confinement parameters play crucial role on the ground state properties of confined system.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 7The Electronic and Optical Properties of an Exciton, Biexciton and Charged Excitons in CdSe/CdTe-Based Multi-Shell Type-II Quantum Dot Nanocrystals(Springer Heidelberg, 2019-09-17) Koc, Fatih; Sahin, MehmetIt has been recently reported that multi-shell type-II quantum dot nanocrystals (QDNCs) have higher quantum yields. Besides these higher quantum yields of multi-shell type-II QDNCs, additional second layer has been a critical influence on the formation mechanisms of the excitonic structures. Understanding of bound and unbound cases of the excitonic structures in multi-shell type-II QDNCs gives some important information for applications. In this study, we have investigated the electronic and optical properties of a single exciton (X), biexciton (XX), and positively and negatively charged excitons (X+ and X-) in CdSe/CdTe-based multi-shell type-II QDNCs. In the study, three different structure compositions, i.e., CdSe/ CdTe, CdSe/CdTe/CdS, and CdSe/CdTe/ZnTe, have been considered. We have observed that CdS and ZnTe materials have drastically changed the electronic and optical properties of the bare CdSe/CdTe type-II QDNCs.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3The Electronic and Optical Properties of a Triexciton in CdSe/ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dot Nanocrystals(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-02-21) Akturk, Abdurrahman; Tas, Hatice; Koksal, Koray; Sahin, MehmetIn the study, we aim to investigate the electronic and optical properties of single excitons, biexcions and triexcitons in a CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dot nanocrystal. The electronic structure has been determined by solving of the Poisson-Schrodinger equations self-consistently. In calculations, the exchange-correlation effects between identical particles have been taken into account in the frame of the local density approximation. We have demonstrated that the optical properties of triexciton systems are remarkably different from the single and biexciton systems. Absorption peaks or transition energies of the triexciton system are well separated from those of single- and bi-exciton systems. We have observed that the core-radius dependent transition energy variations of triexcitons are higher when compared with single- and bi-excitonic systems. The transition energy shifts of double and triple excitons with respect to the single exciton have been calculated as a function of the core radius and we have shown that the energy shifts are inversely proportional with the radius. We have also investigated the radius-dependent changes in binding energies and lifetimes of the structures and the comparative results have been discussed in a detail manner.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15The Electronic Properties of a Two-Electron Multi-Shell Quantum Dot-Quantum Well Heterostructure(Amer Inst Physics, 2013-07-24) Aydin, Rasit; Sahin, MehmetA detailed investigation of the electronic properties of a double electron in a core/shell/well/shell quantum dot heterostructure has been systematically studied for cases with and without an on-center donor impurity. For this purpose, the Poisson-Schrodinger equations have been solved self-consistently in the frame of the single band effective mass approximation and Hartree treatment. The variation of the binding energies of negatively charged donor impurity (D-) have been examined for different core radii, shell thicknesses, and well widths. The results obtained have been presented comparatively as a function of layer thicknesses and probable physical reasons behind in their behavior have been discussed.

However, the main aim of the study is to reveal the angular electronic band structure of the ring-shaped molecules. As in the case of spherical molecules such as fullerene, it is possible to observe a parabolic dispersion of electronic states with the variation of angular quantum number in the planar ring-shaped molecules. This work also discusses the transition probabilities between the occupied and virtual states by analyzing the angular electronic band structure and the possibility of ring currents in the case of spin angular momentum (SAM) or orbital angular momentum (OAM) carrying light. Current study focuses on the benzene molecule to obtain its angular electronic band structure. The obtained electronic band structure can be considered as a useful tool to see the transition probabilities between the electronic states and possible contribution of the states to the ring currents. The photoinduced current due to the transfer of SAM into the benzene molecule has been investigated by using analytical calculations within the frame of time-dependent perturbation theory.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 42Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs Multi-Shell Spherical Quantum Dot(Amer Inst Physics, 2013-11-11) Kavruk, Ahmet Emre; Sahin, Mehmet; Koc, Fatih; Emre Kavruk, AhmetIn this work, the optical properties of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs/AlyGa1-yAs multi-shell quantum dot heterostructure have been studied as a function of Al doping concentrations for cases with and without a hydrogenic donor atom. It has been observed that the absorption coefficient strength and/or resonant absorption wavelength can be adjusted by changing the Al content of inner-barrier and/or outer-barrier regions. Besides, it has been shown that the donor atom has an important effect on the control of the electronic and optical properties of the structure. The results have been presented as a function of the Al contents of the inner-barrier x and outer-barrier y regions and probable physical reasons have been discussed.

In order to determine the electronic properties, we have self-consistently solved the Poisson-Schrodinger equations in the Hartree approximation. We have considered all probable Coulomb interaction effects on both energy levels and also on the corresponding wave functions for both single exciton and biexciton. In addition, we have taken into account the quantum mechanical exchange-correlation effects in the local density approximation between same kinds of particles for biexciton. Also, we have examined the effect of the ligands and dielectric mismatch on the electronic and optical properties. We have used a different approximation proposed by Sahin and Koc [Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 183103 (2013)] for the recombination oscillator strength of the biexciton for bound and unbound cases. The results obtained have been presented comparatively as a function of the shell thicknesses and probable physical reasons in behind of the results have been discussed in a detail.

Quantum dots serve as an attractive building block for such surfaces, as they can be easily functionalized to match the biocompatibility and charge transport requirements of cell stimulation. Although indium based colloidal quantum dots with type-I band alignment have attracted significant attention as a nontoxic alternative to cadmium-based ones, little attention has been paid to their photovoltaic potential as type-II heterostructures. Herein, we demonstrate type-II indium phosphide/zinc oxide core/shell quantum dots that are incorporated into a photoelectrode structure for neural photostimulation. This induces a hyperpolarizing bioelectrical current that triggers the firing of a single neural cell at 4 mu W mm(-2), 26-fold lower than the ocular safety limit for continuous exposure to visible light. These findings show that nanomaterials can induce a biocompatible and effective biological junction and can introduce a route in the use of quantum dots in photoelectrode architectures for artificial retinal prostheses.
