Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Tailoring Quantum Dot Shell Thickness and Polyethylenimine Interlayers for Optimization of Inverted Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes(MDPI, 2024-07-11) Yazici, Ahmet F.; Ocal, Sema Karabel; Bicer, Aysenur; Serin, Ramis B.; Kacar, Rifat; Ucar, Esin; Mutlugun, EvrenQuantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) hold great promise for next-generation display applications owing to their exceptional optical properties and versatile tunability. In this study, we investigate the effects of quantum dot (QD) shell thickness, polyethylenimine (PEI) concentration, and PEI layer position on the performance of inverted QLED devices. Two types of alloyed-core/shell QDs with varying shell thicknesses were synthesized using a one-pot method with mean particle sizes of 8.0 +/- 0.9 nm and 10.3 +/- 1.3 nm for thin- and thick-shelled QDs, respectively. Thick-shelled QDs exhibited a higher photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and a narrower emission linewidth compared to their thin-shelled counterparts. Next, QLEDs employing these QDs were fabricated. The incorporation of PEI layers on either side of the QD emissive layer significantly enhanced device performance. Using PEI on the hole transport side resulted in greater improvement than on the electron injection side. Sandwiching the QD layer between two PEI layers led to the best performance, with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17% and a peak luminance of 91,174 cd/m2 achieved using an optimized PEI concentration of 0.025 wt% on both electron injection and hole injection sides. This study highlights the critical role of QD shell engineering and interfacial modification in achieving high-performance QLEDs for display applications.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Mesoscale Morphologies of Nafion-Based Blend Membranes by Dissipative Particle Dynamics(MDPI, 2021-06-02) Sen, Unal; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Erkartal, Mustafa; Kaya, Alaattin Metin; Manda, Abdullah A.; Oveisi, Ali Reza; Tokumasu, TakashiPolymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) composed of polymer or polymer blend is a vital element in PEM fuel cell that allows proton transport and serves as a barrier between fuel and oxygen. Understanding the microscopic phase behavior in polymer blends is very crucial to design alternative cost-effective proton-conducting materials. In this study, the mesoscale morphologies of Nafion/poly(1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole) (Nafion-PVTri) and Nafion/poly(vinyl phosphonic acid) (Nafion-PVPA) blend membranes were studied by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation technique. Simulation results indicate that both blend membranes can form a phase-separated microstructure due to the different hydrophobic and hydrophilic character of different polymer chains and different segments in the same polymer chain. There is a strong, attractive interaction between the phosphonic acid and sulfonic acid groups and a very strong repulsive interaction between the fluorinated and phosphonic acid groups in the Nafion-PVPA blend membrane. By increasing the PVPA content in the blend membrane, the PVPA clusters' size gradually increases and forms a continuous phase. On the other hand, repulsive interaction between fluorinated and triazole units in the Nafion-PVTri blend is not very strong compared to the Nafion-PVPA blend, which results in different phase behavior in Nafion-PVTri blend membrane. This relatively lower repulsive interaction causes Nafion-PVTri blend membrane to have non-continuous phases regardless of the composition.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Elliptical Quantum Rings With Variable Heights and Under Spin-Orbit Interactions(MDPI, 2023-09-11) Mora-Ramos, Miguel E.; Vinasco, Juan A.; Radu, A.; Restrepo, Ricardo L.; Morales, Alvaro L.; Sahin, Mehmet; Duque, Carlos A.We investigate the electronic properties of a semiconductor quantum ring with an elliptical shape and non-uniform height, allowing for distributed quantum-dot-like bulges along its perimeter. The adiabatic approximation and the finite element method are combined to calculate the allowed electron states in the structure under the effective mass approximation, considering the contributions from Rashba and Dresselahaus spin-orbit interactions and the Zeeman effect in the presence of an applied magnetic field. We discuss the features of the calculated spectra for two different ring geometries: a symmetric one with four dot-like bulges, and an asymmetric one with three hilled protuberances. The information about those states allows us to evaluate the linear optical absorption response associated with interlevel transitions between the ground and lowest excited states. This phenomenon takes place at resonant energies of only a few milielectronvolts. It is observed that spin-orbit interactions tend to quench this response under zero-field conditions in the case of symmetric confinement.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Double Quantum Ring Under an Intense Nonresonant Laser Field: Zeeman and Spin-Orbit Interaction Effects(MDPI, 2023-09-08) Mora-Ramos, Miguel E.; Vinasco, Juan A.; Radu, Adrian; Restrepo, Ricardo L.; Morales, Alvaro L.; Sahin, Mehmet; Duque, Carlos A.We theoretically investigate the properties of an electron energy spectrum in a double GaAs-Al0.3Ga0.7As quantum ring by using the effective mass and adiabatic approximations, together with a realistic description of the confining potential profile, which is assumed to be deformed due to the application of an intense nonresonant laser field. The effects of the applied magnetic field and spin-orbit interaction are included. We discuss the features of the lowest confined energy levels under a variation of magnetic field strengths and intense laser parameters. The influence of this external probe on the linear optical absorption response associated with interlevel transitions is analyzed by considering both the presence and absence of spin-orbit effects.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 40Disaster-Resilient Optical Network Survivability: A Comprehensive Survey(MDPI, 2018-10-12) Ashraf, Muhammad Waqar; Idrus, Sevia M.; Iqbal, Farabi; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Faheem, MuhammadNetwork survivability endeavors to ensure the uninterrupted provisioning of services by the network operators in case of a disaster event. Studies and news reports show that network failures caused by physical attacks and natural disasters have significant impacts on the optical networks. Such network failures may lead to a section of a network to cease to function, resulting in non-availability of services and may increase the congestion within the rest of the network. Therefore, fault tolerant and disaster-resilient optical networks have grasped the attention of the research community and have been a critical concern in network studies during the last decade. Several studies on protection and restoration techniques have been conducted to address the network component failures. This study reviews related previous research studies to critically discuss the issues regarding protection, restoration, cascading failures, disaster-based failures, and congestion-aware routing. We have also focused on the problem of simultaneous cascading failures (which may disturb the data traffic within a layer or disrupt the services at upper layers) along with their mitigating techniques, and disaster-aware network survivability. Since traffic floods and network congestion are pertinent problems, they have therefore been discussed in a separate section. In the end, we have highlighted some open issues in the disaster-resilient network survivability for research challenges and discussed them along with their possible solutions.
