Article Use of Laser-Induced Bubbles in Intraocular Pressure Measurement: A Preliminary Study(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018-11-23) Altindis, Fatih; Ozdur, Ibrahim T.; Mutlu, Sait N.; Yilmaz, BulentThis work investigates the feasibility of a novel approach for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) by analyzing micron-level laser-induced bubble characteristics in the intraocular fluid. We believe that this concept may be used as a non-invasive alternative for measuring a patient's IOP by analyzing the laser-induced bubble volume in the intraocular fluid in the anterior chamber of the eye. The behavior of laser-induced bubbles was examined under differing fluid pressure levels and at differing laser pulse energy levels. An intraocular medium-like environment was imitated and an imaging system was designed in order to capture laser-induced bubbles with their movements. The video recordings of the bubbles were processed using custom software, and the volume of the bubbles was estimated using three different approaches. The bubble volumes were estimated more accurately by using the rising velocity of the bubble rather than its direct radii appearances on the images. An inversely proportional relationship was observed between the laser-induced bubble volume and the fluid pressure. IOP can be measured with a non-invasive technique using laser-induced bubble volume. Deeper and detailed studies, including clinical studies, may lead to the use of lasers for measuring IOP.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 Tapered Curved-Beam Hinges for Electret-Based Vibration Energy Harvesting Devices(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2024-12-01) Hah, DooyoungInterest in vibration energy harvesting have been growing recently for various applications. One of the major development goals for vibration energy harvesters has been improvement in energy conversion efficiency. To pursue that goal, one of the main approaches has been to broaden the spectra of harvesters. Employment of nonlinear springs, such as curved-beam hinges, has proven to be effective for that purpose. The main contribution of the current study is to introduce a lateral taper to the curved beam so as to further optimize the harvester performances. Via numerical analysis by using stochastic differential equations, the study shows that at 0.05g of vibration strength, tapered curved-beam hinges can result in higher electric power output than the non-tapered ones. Deformation-induced stress was taken into consideration as well, in reference to the fracture strength of the material (single-crystal silicon). At lower vibration strength (0.02g), spring nonlinearity becomes weaker, and as a result, the narrowest curved-beam hinge produces the highest output power. Overall, the current study demonstrates that tapering of the curved beam can be a useful addition in the vibration energy harvester design.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13On the Detailed Mechanical Response Investigation of PHBV/PCL and PHBV/PLGA Electrospun Mats(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2019-03-29) Bal, Burak; Tugluca, Ibrahim Burkay; Koc, Nuray; Isoglu, Ismail AlperIn this study, electrospun mats of pristine poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), Poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), as well as PHBV/PCL blends and PHBV/PLGA blends in different ratios (80:20, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 20:80, 10:90, 5:95%, w/w) and Centella Asiatica (CA) loaded (1, 5, 10%, w/v) PHBV/PCL and PHBV/PLGA polyester blends were prepared. Electrospun mats were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to show uniform and bead and defect-free fiber structure with average diameter. The blend ratio and strain rate dependencies of mechanical behavior of these electrospun membranes were investigated under tensile loading. The tensile tests were conducted at an initial strain rates of 10(-1) s(-1), 10(-2) s(-1), 10(-3) s(-1) and 10(-4) s(-1) at room temperature and the best and worst combinations of PHBV/PLGA, PHBV/PCL blend ratios for both stress and ductility required applications were specified for each strain rate. The effects of blend ratios on the tensile strength and Young's modulus were also investigated. Moreover, the effects of Centella Asiatica on the electrospun membranes' mechanical behavior were demonstrated at different strain rates. Consequently, this study constitutes an important guideline for the selection and usage of the aforementioned electrospun membranes as a wound dressing material in terms of mechanical response at different loading scenarios.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3New High-Pressure Phase of MgH2: An Ab Initio Constant-Pressure Study(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2014-02-01) Durandurdu, MuratThe stability of magnesium hydride (MgH2) at high pressure is studied using a constant-pressure ab initio technique. Two phase transformations are successfully observed through the simulations. The rutile structure undergoes a phase transformation into a CaCl2-type phase. Further increase in pressure results into a first-order phase transition into an orthorhombic state within Pbcm symmetry. This phase can be considered as a distorted CsF2-type crystal and does not correspond to the previously proposed MgH2 phases. The transformation mechanism of the CaCl2-Pbcm phase change at the atomistic level is successfully characterized and it is found that the CaCl2-to-Pbcm phase change proceeds via an ideal CaF2-type intermediate phase. These phase transformations are also analyzed using total energy-volume calculations.Copyright (C) EPLA, 2014Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Highly Luminescent ZnCdTeS Nanocrystals With Wide Spectral Tunability for Efficient Color-Conversion White-Light(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021-09-28) Soheyli, Ehsan; Zargoush, Sirous; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Sahraei, Reza; Mutlugun, EvrenCdTe-based semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) with size and composition-dependent efficient bandgap properties are historically mature nanomaterials for colloidal optoelectronic applications. In this work, we present the highly luminescent quaternary ZnCdTeS NCs with tunable emission across a wide visible spectrum from green to red spectral range. Prepared via a direct aqueous-based approach, a second capping agent of trisodium citrate (TSC) was used to enhance the photoluminescence (PL) emission efficiency, the chemical stability, and to spectrally widen the coverage of the emission spectra of ZnCdTeS NCs. Adding TCS created a remarkable blue shift from 572 nm in the absence of TSC, to 548 nm. On the other hand, upon optimization of experimental parameters, superior ZnCdTeS NCs with a narrow PL profile typically less than 50 nm, the high quantum efficiency of 76%, and tunable emission from 515-to-645 nm were synthesized in an aqueous solvent. The keynotes were the superior and reproducible luminescent properties for the core only NCs, without shell and using relatively low reaction temperatures. It was shown that in the suggested synthesis method, the high efficiency emitted color of ZnCdTeS NCs can be easily controlled from 515-to-650 nm with excellent stability against harsh conditions. The biexponential decay profiles of samples prepared at different reaction temperatures demonstrated that the average recombination lifetime is below 40 ns and increases with the growth of the ZnCdTeS NCs. Results reveal that the excitonic energy levels have the main role in the recombination process. Finally, to demonstrate the functional advantages of the prepared NCs in optoelectronics, the NCs were used to fabricate color-conversion white light-emitting diodes. The color coordinate of the device is recorded as (0.4951, 0.3647) with CRI of 91, CCT of 1954 K, and LER of 251 lm W-1 by employing only two distinct emitters for color conversion.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 18FRET Enabled Light Harvesting within Quantum Dot Loaded Nanofibers(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018-01-24) Altintas, Yemliha; Kiremitler, Nuri Burak; Genc, Sinan; Onses, M. Serdar; Mutlugun, EvrenThe spatial control of the nano-emitters in novel light harvesting platforms offers great potential for the manipulation of the excitonic interaction amongst the donor-acceptor pairs of energy transferring agents. In this work, we report colloidal quantum dot loaded electrospun nanofibers as a light harvesting platform to study the excitonic interaction among them. The donor emission lifetime modified from 12.46 ns to 7.45 ns with the change in the ratio of green and red quantum dots in the nanofiber, as a result of confining acceptor quantum dots in close proximity. The spectrally narrow emitter luminescent nanofiber platforms have further been investigated for their potential of white light generation. The hybrid platform of blue LED integrated electrospun nanofibers has been shown to demonstrate a correlated color temperature of 3632.5 K, luminous efficacy of optical radiation value of 307.7 lm/W-opt along with color rendering index value of 60.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 16Excitation-Independent Deep-Blue Emitting Carbon Dots With 62% Emission Quantum Efficiency and Monoexponential Decay Profile for High-Resolution Fingerprint Identification(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2022-08-15) Savaedi, Soheyla; Soheyli, Ehsan; Zheng, Guangsong; Lou, Qing; Sahraei, Reza; Shan, ChongxinReaching emissive nanomaterials at short wavelengths with a high quantum efficiency (QE) is an attractive task for researchers. This is more demanding in carbon dots (CDs) with diverse applications that usually emit photons at wavelengths around 450-620 nm. In this study, deep blue-emissive doped-CDs (d-CDs) with high photoluminescence (PL) QE up to 62% and excitation-independent properties were prepared via a short-time microwave irradiation method. The prepared CDs showed simultaneous amorphous and crystalline features, with average sizes of 4.75 nm and bright emission color located at 422 nm. It was found that the presence of sulfur-related dopant levels plays a key role in emission properties in such a way that the PL signal drops significantly in the absence of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) as a dopant source. On the other hand, the trisodium citrate dihydrate (TSC) was selected as a carbon source to form the main carbon skeleton without it no emission was recorded. Monoexponential-fitted recombination trend with an average lifetime of about 10 ns also confirmed excellent PL emission properties with uniform energy levels and minimized defect-contributing recombinations. The practical use of the as-prepared N, S-doped CDs was assessed in fingerprint detection indicating a bright and clear scheme for both core and termination regions of the fingerprint. Simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high-product yield, low toxicity, along with high/stable PL quantum efficiency in deep-blue wavelengths, and demonstrated ability for fingerprint purposes, support the prospective application of these dual doped-CDs for sensing and bioimaging applications.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 53CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dot Films for High Performance Flexible Lighting and Display Applications(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2016-06-10) Altintas, Yemliha; Genc, Sinan; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Mutlugun, EvrenColloidal quantum dots have attracted significant interest in recent years for lighting and display applications and have recently appeared in high-end market products. The integration of quantum dots with light emitting diodes has made them promising candidates for superior lighting applications with tunable optical characteristics. In this work we propose and demonstrate high quality colloidal quantum dots in their novel free-standing film forms to allow high quality white light generation to address flexible lighting and display applications. High quality quantum dots have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, steady state and time resolved photoluminescence and dynamic light scattering methods. The engineering of colloidal quantum dot composition and its optical properties in stand-alone film form has led to the experimentally high NTSC color gamut of 122.5 (CIE-1931) for display applications, color rendering index of 88.6, luminous efficacy of optical radiation value of 290 lm/W-opt and color temperature of 2763 K for lighting applications.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 29A Detailed Investigation of Electronic and Optical Properties of the Exciton, the Biexciton and Charged Excitons in a Multi-Shell Quantum Dot Nanocrystal(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2014-06-19) Akturk, Abdurrahman; Sahin, Mehmet; Koc, Fatih; Erdinc, AhmetIn the present study, the electronic and optical properties of the exciton (X), the biexciton (XX) and charged excitons (X- and X+) in a multi-shell quantum dot nanocrystal have been systematically explored in detail. The electronic properties have been determined in the framework of the single-band effective mass approximation. For this purpose, the Poisson-Schrodinger equations have been solved self-consistently in the Hartree approximation. In the electronic structure calculations for XX, X- and X+, the quantum mechanical exchange-correlation potentials between particles of the same type have been taken into account in the local density approximation. Some optical parameters, such as the overlap integrals, recombination oscillator strengths, radiative lifetimes, etc, have been determined by using the single-particle energy levels and wavefunctions obtained. A different approximation, reported in Sahin and Koc 2013 Appl. Phys. Lett. 102 183103, has been used in the recombination oscillator strength calculations. The results have been presented comparatively as a function of the shell thicknesses, and the well widths and probable physical reasons underlying them have been discussed in detail.
