Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Highly Mobile Excitons in Single Crystal Methylammonium Lead Tribromide Perovskite Microribbons(American Chemical Society, 2022) McClintock, Luke; Song, Ziyi; Travaglini, H. Clark; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Chandrasekaran, Vigneshwaran; Htoon, Han; Yarotski, Dmitry; Yu, DongExcitons are often given negative connotation in solar energy harvesting in part due to their presumed short diffusion lengths. We investigate exciton transport in single-crystal methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) microribbons via spectrally, spatially, and temporally resolved photocurrent and photoluminescence measurements. Distinct peaks in the photocurrent spectra unambiguously confirm exciton formation and allow for accurate extraction of the low temperature exciton binding energy (39 meV). Photocurrent decays within a few μm at room temperature, while a gate-tunable long-range photocurrent component appears at lower temperatures (about 100 μm below 140 K). Carrier lifetimes of 1.2 μs or shorter exclude the possibility of the long decay length arising from slow trapped-carrier hopping. Free carrier diffusion is also an unlikely source of the highly nonlocal photocurrent, due to their small fraction at low temperatures. We attribute the long-distance transport to high-mobility excitons, which may open up new opportunities for novel exciton-based photovoltaic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Transport Modeling of Locally Photogenerated Excitons in Halide Perovskites(American Chemical Society, 2021) Tang, Kuen Wai; Li, Senlei; Weeden, Spencer; Song, Ziyi; McClintock, Luke; Xiao, Rui; Senger, Ramazan TuğrulExcitons have fundamental impacts on optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. Halide perovskites, with long carrier lifetimes and ionic crystal structures, may support highly mobile excitons because the dipolar nature of excitons suppresses phonon scattering. Inspired by recent experimental progress, we perform device modeling to rigorously analyze exciton formation and transport in methylammonium lead triiodide under local photoexcitation by using a finite element method. Mobile excitons, coexisting with free carriers, can dominate photocurrent generation at low temperatures. The simulation results are in excellent agreement with the experimentally observed strong temperature and gate dependence of carrier diffusion. This work signifies that efficient exciton transport can substantially influence charge transport in the family of perovskite materials.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Vertical van der waals heterostructure of single layer InSe and SiGe(American Chemical Society, 2019) Eren, İsmail; Özen, Sercan; Sözen, Yiğit; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Şahin, HasanWe present a first-principles investigation on the stability, electronic structure, and mechanical response of ultrathin heterostructures composed of single layers of InSe and SiGe. First, by performing total energy optimization and phonon calculations, we show that single layers of InSe and SiGe can form dynamically stable heterostructures in 12 different stacking types. Valence and conduction band edges of the heterobilayers form a type-I heterojunction having a tiny band gap ranging between 0.09 and 0.48 eV. Calculations on elastic-stiffness tensor reveal that two mechanically soft single layers form a heterostructure which is stiffer than the constituent layers because of relatively strong interlayer interaction. Moreover, phonon analysis shows that the bilayer heterostructure has highly Raman active modes at 205.3 and 43.7 cm(-1), stemming from the out-of-plane interlayer mode and layer breathing mode, respectively. Our results show that, as a stable type-I heterojunction, ultrathin heterobilayer of InSe/SiGe holds promise for nanoscale device applications.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Temperature and Gate Dependence of Carrier Diffusion in Single Crystal Methylammonium Lead Iodide Perovskite Microstructures(American Chemical Society, 2020) McClintock, Luke; Xiao, Rui; Hou, Yasen; Gibson, Clinton; Travaglini, Henry Clark; Abramovitch, David; Tan, Liang Z.; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Fu, Yongping; Jin, SongWe investigate temperature-dependent photogenerated carrier diffusion in single-crystal methylammonium lead iodide microstuctures via scanning photocurrent microscopy, Carrier diffusion lengths increased abruptly across the tetragonal to orthorhombic phase transition and reached 200 +/- 50 mu m at 80 K. In combination with the microsecond carrier lifetime measured by a transient photocurrent method, an enormous carrier mobility value of 3 x 10(4) cm(2)/V s was extracted at 80 K. The observed highly nonlocal photocurrent and the rapid increase of the carrier diffusion length at low temperatures can be understood by the formation and efficient transport of free excitons in the orthorhombic phase as a result of reduced optical phonon scattering due to the dipolar nature of the excitons. Carrier diffusion lengths were tuned by a factor of 8 by gate voltage and increased with increasing majority carrier (electron) concentration, consistent with the exciton model.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22Zinc Oxide and Metal Halide Perovskite Nanostructures Having Tunable Morphologies Grown by Nanosecond Laser Ablation for Light-Emitting Devices(American Chemical Society, 2020) Demirci Sankir, Nurdan; Abdullayeva, Nazrin; Altaf, Çiğdem Tuç; Kumtepe, Alihan; Yılmaz, Nazmi; Coşkun, Özlem; Sankir, Mehmet; Kurt, Hamza; Çelebi, Cem; Yanılmaz, AlperThis work reports a one-pot chemical bath deposition (CBD) method for the preparation of selectively grown, morphology-tunable zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures provided via straightforward nanosecond fiber laser ablation. Nanosecond fiber laser ablation is different from lithographic methods due to its simple, time saving, and efficient film scribing abilities. Here, multiple morphologies of the ZnO nanostructures on the same substrate have been grown via laser ablation of the ZnO seeding layer. Selective and controlled ablation of the titanium layer, ZnO growth inhibitor, resulted in systematic growth of nanorod arrays, while the application of extensive fluence energies resulted in the penetration of the laser beam until the glass substrate induced the nanoflake growth within the same CBD environment. The laser penetration depth has been numerically investigated via COMSOL Multiphysics heat module simulations, and the optical variations between two nanostructures (nanorod and nanoflake) have been examined via Lumerical FDTD. The simultaneous growth of two morphologies served as an efficient tool for the enhancement of photoluminescence intensities. It increased the average charge carrier lifetimes of the thin films from approximately 2.01 to 9.07 ns under the same excitation wavelengths. The amplification in PL performances has been accomplished via the capstone of all-inorganic halide perovskite (IHP) deposition that brought a successful conclusion to lifetime responses, which have been increased by 1.4-fold. The development of IHP sensitized nanoscaled multimorphological ZnO thin films can, therefore, be used as potential nanomaterials for light-emitting-device applications. © 2020 American Chemical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 17Monitoring the Doping and Diffusion Characteristics of Mn Dopants in Cesium Lead Halide Perovskites(American Chemical Society, 2018) Güner, Tuğrul; Akbalı, Barış; Özcan, Mehmet; Topçu, Gökhan; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanCesium lead perovskites, in the form of CsPbX3 or Cs4PbX6, have been widely used for various optoelectronic applications due to their exceptionally good optical properties. In this study, the effect of Mn doping on the structural and optical properties of cesium lead halide perovskite crystals are investigated from both experimental and theoretical points of view. It is found that adding MnCl2 during the synthesis not only leads to a Mn-driven structural phase transition from Cs4PbBr6 to CsPbCl3 but also triggers the Br- to Cl- halide exchange. On the other hand, it is observed that, under UV illumination, the color of Mn-doped crystals changes from orange to blue in approximately 195 h. While the intensity of Mn-originated photoluminescence emission exponentially decays in time, the intensity of CsPbCl3-originated emission remains unchanged. In addition, diffusive motion of Mn ions results in both a growing population of MnO2 at the surface and transition of the host into a cesium-rich Cs4PbCl6 phase.Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 66Preparation and Characterization of Calcium Stearate Powders and Films Prepared by Precipitation and Langmuir-Blodgett Techniques(American Chemical Society, 2010) Gönen, Mehmet; Öztürk, Serdar; Balköse, Devrim; Okur, Salih; Ülkü, SemraThe preparation of calcium stearate (CaSt2) using precipitation and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques was investigated in this study. While sodium stearate and calcium chloride were used in the precipitation process, calcium stearate nanofilms were produced from stearic acid and calcium chloride in sodium borate buffer with the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated carboxylate bands at 1577 and 1543 cm-1 in equal intensity in the powder form, but the films had a higher intensity 1577 cm-1 band than the 1543 cm-1 band. This showed the calcium ions associated with the COO- ions in the monodendate and bidendate structures in powders, and it was mainly in the bidendate structure in films. While characteristic peaks of CaSt2 at 2θ values of 6.40° and 19.58° were obtained in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the dried powdered product, no sharp peaks were present in the 13 layer CaSt2 film. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs, it was seen that calcium stearate powder had lamellar structure and the average particle size was 600 nm. The AFM picture of the CaSt2 film indicated the surface was not smooth with a peak to valley distance of 6 nm. © 2010 American Chemical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 63Citation - Scopus: 64Vacancy Formation and Oxidation Characteristics of Single Layer Tis3(American Chemical Society, 2015) İyikanat, Fadıl; Şahin, Hasan; Senger, Ramazan Tugrul; Peeters, François M.The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of pristine, defective, and oxidized monolayer TiS3 are investigated using first-principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory. We found that a single layer of TiS3 is a direct band gap semiconductor, and the bonding nature of the crystal is fundamentally different from other transition metal chalcogenides. The negatively charged surfaces of single layer TiS3 makes this crystal a promising material for lubrication applications. The formation energies of possible vacancies, i.e. S, Ti, TiS, and double S, are investigated via total energy optimization calculations. We found that the formation of a single S vacancy was the most likely one among the considered vacancy types. While a single S vacancy results in a nonmagnetic, semiconducting character with an enhanced band gap, other vacancy types induce metallic behavior with spin polarization of 0.3-0.8 μB. The reactivity of pristine and defective TiS3 crystals against oxidation was investigated using conjugate gradient calculations where we considered the interaction with atomic O, O2, and O3. While O2 has the lowest binding energy with 0.05-0.07 eV, O3 forms strong bonds stable even at moderate temperatures. The strong interaction (3.9-4.0 eV) between atomic O and TiS3 results in dissociative adsorption of some O-containing molecules. In addition, the presence of S-vacancies enhances the reactivity of the surface with atomic O, whereas it had a negative effect on the reactivity with O2 and O3 molecules.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 38Humidity Sensing Properties of Cds Nanoparticles Synthesized by Chemical Bath Deposition Method(American Chemical Society, 2011) Demir, Ramazan; Okur, Salih; Şeker, Mavişe; Zor, MuhsinThin films of CdS nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique to investigate humidity response characteristics. The morphology and the crystal structure of CdS thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique was used to measure the water vapor adsorption and desorption rates of CdS thin films. The dynamic Langmuir model was used to analyze the kinetics of the moisture adsorption and desorption process under relative humidity (RH) between 17 and 85% RH. Our results indicate that CdS thin films have a great affinity to humidity at room temperature.
