Article Sensitive Hybrid Plasmonic Refractive Index Sensor Based on Ag Cross-Grating Nanoantenna and Au Quantum Dot upon SiO2 Nanowire(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2026-04-03) Sanli, Atif Kerem; Kilic, Veli Tayfun; Tabaru, Timucin EmreThis study presents a distinctive hybrid plasmonic sensor architecture combining a silver (Ag) cross-shaped nanoantenna with a gold (Au) quantum dot (QD) for enhanced refractive index sensing applications. The structure consists of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) substrate and a cylindrically shaped SiO2 wire on it, topped with a silicon nitride (Si3N4) dielectric layer and an Ag cross grating, with an Au QD positioned at the center. Using free and open source 3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations, exceptional electric field enhancement at the resonant wavelength of approximately 639-667 nm is demonstrated. The optimized structure achieves remarkable quality factors (Q-factors) exceeding 267 for biological media, representing among the highest reported values for plasmonic sensing structures. Unlike conventional red-shift sensors, our design exhibits a distinctive blue-shift sensing behavior arising from hybrid plasmonic mode coupling, achieving sensitivities ranging from 190 to 344 nm RIU-1 for various analytes, including water, blood, PDMS, body fat, ethanol, and glass. The ultrasharp resonances (FWHM similar to 2.3 nm) combined with intense field enhancement make this design highly suitable for biosensing applications.Article Performance Boost in QLEDs Using Octanethiol-Capped Core/Shell Quantum Dots(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2026-01-07) Yazici, Ahmet F.; Yuruc, Adnan M.; Kelestemur, Yusuf; Serin, Ramis Berkay; Kacar, Rifat; Ulku, Alper; Mutlugun, EvrenQuantum dots attract significant attention as one of the most promising colloidal nanocrystals with unique optical properties and potential applications for the next generation of display technology. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of CdZnSeS-based alloyed-shell quantum dots (QDs) for electroluminescence devices upon additional shell growth and ligand exchange. This includes core/shell (C/S) and core/shell/shell (C/S/S) QDs, whose latter includes an additional ZnS shell and octanethiol (OT) ligands. We present detailed characterizations of QDs using transmission electron microscopy, XRD, and various spectroscopic techniques and demonstrate their QD light emitting (QLEDs). We find the photoluminescence quantum yield of C/S/S QDs increased from 68.8% to 88.7% compared to C/S QDs whereas the emission linewidth narrows from 22.2 nm to 20.8 nm. QLEDs fabricated with C/S/S QDs exhibit a higher peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4.1% and maximum luminance of 85 000 cd m-2, compared to 2.3% EQE and 67 000 cd m-2 for C/S QLEDs. In this respect, the OT-assisted shell growth significantly improves the optical property of QDs and performance of QLEDs, likely attributed to the enhanced charge balance and increased radiative recombination rate.
