Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Ultra-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 VolkanForgery, 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.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 21Tattoo-Like Multi-Color Physically Unclonable Functions(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2023-12-07) Kiremitler, N. Burak; Esidir, Abidin; Drake, Gryphon A.; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Sahin, Furkan; Torun, Ilker; Onses, M. SerdarAdvanced anti-counterfeiting and authentication approaches are in urgent need of the rapidly digitizing society. Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) attract significant attention as a new-generation security primitive. The challenge is design and generation of multi-color PUFs that can be universally applicable to objects of varied composition, geometry, and rigidity. Herein, tattoo-like multi-color fluorescent PUFs are proposed and demonstrated. Multi-channel optical responses are created by electrospraying of polymers that contain semiconductor nanocrystals with precisely defined photoluminescence. The universality of this approach enables the use of dot and dot-in-rod geometries with unique optical characteristics. The fabricated multi-color PUFs are then transferred to a target object by using a temporary tattoo approach. Digitized keys generated from the red, green and blue fluorescence channels facilitate large encoding capacity and rapid authentication. Feature matching algorithms complement the authentication by direct image comparison, effectively alleviating constraints associated with imaging conditions. The strategy that paves the way for the development of practical, cost-effective, and secure anticounterfeiting systems is presented. Tattoo-like multi-color encoding layers based on random processing of semiconductor nanocrystals of varied composition and geometry are reported. Additive deposition via chaotic electrospraying enables randomness and multiplexing, whereas the tattoo approach provides substrate independence.imageArticle Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Stochastic Orientational Encoding via Hydrogen Bonding Driven Assembly of Woven-Like Molecular Physically Unclonable Functions(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-07-02) Kayaci, Nilgun; Kiremitler, Nuri Burak; Deneme, Ibrahim; Kalay, Mustafa; Ozbasaran, Aleyna; Zorlu, Yunus; Usta, HakanThe prevention of counterfeiting and the assurance of object authenticity require stochastic encoding schemes based on physically unclonable functions (PUFs). There is an urgent need for exceptionally large encoding capacities and multi-level responses within a molecularly defined, single-material system. Herein, a novel stochastic orientational encoding approach is demonstrated using a facile ambient-atmosphere solution processing of a molecular thin film based on the rod-shaped oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) pi-architecture. The nanoscopic film, derived from the small molecule 2EHO-CF3PyPE with donor, acceptor, and pi-spacer building units, is designed for energetically favorable uniaxial molecular assembly and crystal growth via directional multiple hydrogen-bonding motifs at the molecular termini and short C & horbar;H<middle dot><middle dot><middle dot>pi contacts at the center. A facile solvent vapor annealing induces concurrent dewetting and microscopic 1D random crystallization, yielding a woven-textured random features. Using convolutional neural networks, the rich variations in microcrystal domain properties and stochastic encoding of 1D crystal orientations generate artificial coloration, achieving an encoding capacity reaching (6.5 x 10(4))(2752 x 2208). The results demonstrate an effective strategy for achieving ultrahigh encoding capacities in a thin film composed of a single-material. This approach enables low-cost, solution-processed fabrication for mass production and broad adoption, while opening new opportunities to explore molecular-PUFs through structural design and engineering noncovalent interactions.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 9Single-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 VolkanIn 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.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 36Selective Remanent Ambipolar Charge Transport in Polymeric Field-Effect Transistors for High-Performance Logic Circuits Fabricated in Ambient(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2014-10-06) Fabiano, Simone; Usta, Hakan; Forchheimer, Robert; Crispin, Xavier; Facchetti, Antonio; Berggren, MagnusArticle Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Recent Advances in CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) Perovskite NCs@Glass: Structures, Characterizations, and Applications(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-04-07) Samiei, Sadaf; Lin, Jidong; Soheyli, Ehsan; Nabiyouni, Gholamreza; Chen, DaqinEncapsulation of perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) within metal oxide glasses and fabrication of PeNCs@glass composites has emerged as a transformative approach to enhance the stability and functionality of these promising luminescent materials.

Although the exploration of CQWs in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is impressive, the performance of CQW-LEDs lags far behind other types of soft-material LEDs (e.g., organic LEDs, colloidal-quantum-dot LEDs, and perovskite LEDs). Herein, high-efficiency CQW-LEDs reaching close to the theoretical limit are reported. A key factor for this high performance is the exploitation of hot-injection shell (HIS) growth of CQWs, which enables a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), reduces nonradiative channels, ensures smooth films, and enhances the stability. Remarkably, the PLQY remains 95% in solution and 87% in film despite rigorous cleaning. Through systematically understanding their shape-, composition-, and device-engineering, the CQW-LEDs using CdSe/Cd0.25Zn0.75S core/HIS CQWs exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency of 19.2%. Additionally, a high luminance of 23 490 cd m(-2), extremely saturated red color with the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.715, 0.283), and stable emission are obtained. The findings indicate that HIS-grown CQWs enable high-performance solution-processed LEDs, which may pave the path for future CQW-based display and lighting technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Quenchable Amorphous Diamond: A Novel High-Pressure Route to Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-05-03) Durandurdu, MuratThis study presents a groundbreaking theoretical prediction: the high-pressure transformation of amorphous graphite into a high-fraction sp3-bonded amorphous diamond phase. Employing ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, it is demonstrated that under extreme pressures, amorphous graphite undergoes an irreversible transition to an amorphous diamond phase. Thermodynamic analysis confirms the first-order nature of this sp2-to-sp3 transformation, with the transition predicted to occur at approximate to 33 GPa under experimental conditions. This transformation offers a novel pathway toward the synthesis of amorphous carbon with a high fraction of sp3 bonding, a long-standing challenge in materials science. This work expands understanding of carbon's high-pressure behavior and provides a compelling theoretical foundation for future experimental investigations aimed at synthesizing and characterizing this novel material.Article Citation - WoS: 88Citation - Scopus: 83Organic Light-Emitting Physically Unclonable Functions(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2021-12-22) Kayaci, Nilgun; Ozdemir, Resul; Kalay, Mustafa; Kiremitler, N. Burak; Usta, Hakan; Onses, M. SerdarThe development of novel physically unclonable functions (PUFs) is of growing interest and fluorescent organic semiconductors (f-OSCs) offer unique advantages of structural versatility, solution-processability, ease of processing, and great tuning ability of their physicochemical/optoelectronic/spectroscopic properties. The design and ambient atmosphere facile fabrication of a unique organic light-emitting physically unclonable function (OLE-PUF) based on a green-emissive fluorescent oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) molecule is reported. The OLE-PUFs have been prepared by one-step, brief (5 min) thermal annealing of spin-coated nanoscopic films (approximate to 40 nm) at a modest temperature (170 degrees C), which results in efficient surface dewetting to form randomly positioned/sized hemispherical features with bright fluorescence. The random positioning of molecular domains generated the unclonable surface with excellent uniformity (0.50), uniqueness (0.49), and randomness (p > 0.01); whereas the distinctive photophysical and structural properties of the molecule created the additional security layers (fluorescence profile, excited-state decay dynamics, Raman mapping/spectrum, and infrared spectrum) for multiplex encoding. The OLE-PUFs on substrates of varying chemical structures, surface energies and flexibility, and direct deposition on goods via drop-casting are demonstrated. The OLE-PUFs immersed in water, exposed to mechanical abrasion, and read-out repeatedly via fluorescence imaging showed great stability. These findings clearly demonstrate that rationally engineered solution-processable f-OSCs have a great potential to become a key player in the development of new-generation PUFs.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Optical 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 VolkanThis 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.
