Resultant hybrid light-matter states exhibit energy level shifts, are delocalized over many molecular units, and have a different excited-state potential energy landscape, which leads to modified exciton dynamics. Previously, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians have been derived to describe the excited states of molecules coupled to surface plasmons (i.e., plexcitons), and these operators have been successfully used in the description of linear and third order optical response. In this article, we rigorously derive non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in the response function formalism of nonlinear spectroscopy by means of Feshbach operators and apply them to explore spectroscopic signatures of plexcitons. In particular, we analyze the optical response below and above the exceptional point that arises for matching transition energies for plasmon and molecular components and study their decomposition using double-sided Feynman diagrams. We find a clear distinction between interference and Rabi splitting in linear spectroscopy and a qualitative change in the symmetry of the line shape of the nonlinear signal when crossing the exceptional point. This change corresponds to one in the symmetry of the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. Our work presents an approach for simulating the optical response of sublevels within an electronic system and opens new applications of nonlinear spectroscopy to examine the different regimes of the spectrum of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.Article Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 54Highly Porous Poly(o-Phenylenediamine) Loaded Magnetic Carboxymethyl Cellulose Hybrid Beads for Removal of Two Model Textile Dyes(Springer, 2022) Arıca, Tuğçe Aybüke; Balcı, Fadime Mert; Balcı, Sinan; Arıca, Mehmet YakupEnsuring the removal of complex dyes from wastewater is a topic of great interest as it is vital for the environment. The present study reports a facile preparation method for poly(o-phenylenediamine) [p(o-PDA)] micro-particles loaded to magnetic carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel beads as adsorbents. The prepared products were characterized by FTIR, TGA, VSM, SEM, BET, and zeta sizer. The Fe3O4@p(o-PDA)@CMC beads were used for the removal of Reactive Blue 4 (RB-4) and Congo Red (CR) textile dyes from an aqueous medium. Different factors, such as adsorbent dose, initial pH, ionic strength, contact time, temperatures, and initial RB-4 and CR concentrations were examined. The maximum adsorption capacities of the RB-4 dye and CR at optimum pH 5 reached 398.7 and 524.6 mg/g in 120 min, respectively. The adsorption of RB-4 and CR on the hybrid magnetic beads can be due to the electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. Moreover, the magnetic hybrid beads showed easy regeneration ability and good reusability. The adsorbent can be a very good candidate for the efficient removal of micro-pollutant from wastewater.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6L2[gaxfa1–xpbi3]pbi4 (0 ≤ X ≤ 1) Ruddlesden–popper Perovskite Nanocrystals for Solar Cells and Light-Emitting Diodes(American Chemical Society, 2022) Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Tunç, İlknur; Balcı, SinanThe main challenges to overcome for colloidal 2D Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) organo-lead iodide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are phase instability and low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Herein, we demonstrate colloidal synthesis of guanidinium (GA)-L2[GAPbI3]PbI4, formamidinium (FA)-L2[FAPbI3]PbI4, and GA and FA alloyed L2[GA0.5FA0.5PbI3]PbI4 NCs without using polar or high boiling point nonpolar solvents. Importantly, we show that optical properties and phase stability of L2[APbI3]PbI4 NCs can be affectively tuned by alloying with guanidinium and formamidinium cations. Additionally, the band gap of NCs can be rapidly engineered by bromide ion exchange in L2[GAxFA1–xPbI3]PbI4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) NCs. Our approach produces a stable dispersion of L2[FAPbI3]PbI4 NCs with 12.6% PLQY that is at least three times higher than the previously reported PLQY in the nanocrystals. Furthermore, L2[GAPbI3]PbI4 and L2[GA0.5FA0.5PbI3]PbI4 NC films exhibit improved ambient stability over 10 days, which is significantly higher than L2[FAPbI3]PbI4 NC films, which transform to an undesired 1D phase within 6 days. The colloidally synthesized guanidinium- and formamidinium-based 2D RP organo-lead iodide perovskite NCs with improved stability and high PLQY demonstrated in this study may find applications in solar cells and light-emitting diodes. Therefore, large A-site cation-alloyed 2D RP perovskite NCs may provide a new way to rationalize high-performance and stable perovskite solar cells and light-emitting diodes.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Seed-Mediated Synthesis of Colloidal 2d Halide Perovskite Nanoplatelets(Wiley, 2021) Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Balcı, SinanColloidal synthesis of two-dimensional lead halide perovskite nanoplatelets (2D LHP NPLs) with a general formula of L-2[APbX(3)](n-1)PbX4 has been widely performed by using hot-injection or ligand assisted reprecipitation methods. Herein, for the first time, we report on seed-mediated synthesis of two and three monolayers (n=2, 3) lead halide perovskite nanoplatelets without using A-site cation halide salt (AX; A=Cesium, methylammonium, formamidinium and, X=Cl, Br, I) and long chain alkylammonium halide salts (LX; L=oleylammonium, octylammonium, butylammonium and, X=Cl, Br, I). The nanocrystal seeds have been prepared by reacting lead (II) halide salt and coordinating ligands in a nonpolar solvent and then they have been reacted with cesium oleate, formamidinium oleate or methylamine. Our facile synthesis route enabling further understanding of the growth dynamics of LHP NPLs provides highly stable, monodisperse NPLs with very narrow absorption and emission linewidths (min. 68 meV), and high PLQY (max. 37.6%).Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14Laser Assisted Synthesis of Anisotropic Metal Nanocrystals and Strong Light-Matter Coupling in Decahedral Bimetallic Nanocrystals(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Mert Balcı, Fadime; Sarısözen, Sema; Polat, Nahit; Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Karadeniz, Uğur; Tertemiz, Necip Ayhan; Balcı, SinanThe advances in colloid chemistry and nanofabrication allowed us to synthesize noble monometallic and bimetallic nanocrystals with tunable optical properties in the visible and near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the strong coupling regime, surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) of metal nanoparticles interact with excitons of quantum dots or organic dyes and plasmon-exciton hybrid states called plexcitons are formed. Until now, various shaped metal nanoparticles such as nanorods, core-shell nanoparticles, hollow nanoparticles, nanoprisms, nanodisks, nanorings, and nanobipyramids have been synthesized to generate plasmon-exciton mixed states. However, in order to boost plasmon-exciton interaction at nanoscale dimensions and expand the application of plexcitonic nanocrystals in a variety of fields such as solar cells, light emitting diodes, and nanolasers, new plexcitonic nanocrystals with outstanding optical and chemical properties remain a key goal and challenge. Here we report laser-assisted synthesis of decahedral shaped noble metal nanocrystals, tuning optical properties of the decahedral shaped nanocrystals by galvanic replacement reactions, colloidal synthesis of bimetallic decahedral shaped plexcitonic nanocrystals, and strong plasmon-plasmon interaction in bimetallic decahedral shaped noble metal nanocrystals near a metal film. We photochemically synthesize decahedral Ag nanoparticles from spherical silver nanoparticles by using a 488 nm laser. The laser assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticles yields decahedral (bicolored) and prism (monocolored) shaped silver nanocrystals. The decahedral shaped nanoparticles were selectively separated from prism shaped nanoparticles by centrifugation. The optical properties of decahedral nanocrystals were tuned by the galvanic replacement reaction between gold ions and silver atoms. Excitons of J-aggregate dyes and SPPs of decahedral bimetallic nanoparticles strongly couple and hence decahedral shaped plexcitonic nanoparticles are prepared. In addition, localized SPPs of decahedral shaped bimetallic nanocrystals interact strongly with the propagating SPPs of a flat silver film and hence new hybrid plasmonic modes (plasmonic nanocavities) are generated. The experimental results are further fully corroborated by theoretical calculations including decahedral shaped plexcitonic nanoparticles and decahedral nanoparticles coupled to flat metal films.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Room Temperature Emission From Single Defects in Wo3 Enhanced by Plasmonic Nanocrystals(American Institute of Physics, 2021) Özçeri, Elif; Polat, Nahit; Balcı, Sinan; Tarhan, EnverRoom temperature light emission from optically active defect centers in two-dimensional layered materials has attracted great interest in recent years owing to the critical applications in the field of quantum information technologies. Therefore, efficient generation, detection, characterization, and manipulation of spatially localized emission from the defect centers are of crucial importance. Here, we report localized, stable, and bright room temperature photoluminescence (PL) emission from defects in WO3. In particular, the experimentally observed polarized and power dependent PL emission shows single photon characteristics. In addition, density functional theory calculations indicate that the source of the emission is most probably oxygen vacancy defects in WO3. The PL emission obtained from the localized defect centers in WO3 at room temperature has been, further, enhanced more than 20 times by using plasmonic gold nanoparticles.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15Hybrid J-aggregate-graphene phototransistor(American Chemical Society, 2020) Yakar, Ozan; Balcı, Osman; Uzlu, Burkay; Polat, Nahit; Arı, Ozan; Tunç, İlknur; Balcı, SinanJ-aggregates are fantastic self-assembled chromophores with a very narrow and extremely sharp absorbance band in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, and hence they have found many exciting applications in nonlinear optics, sensing, optical devices, photography, and lasing. In silver halide photography, for example, they have enormously improved the spectral sensitivity of photographic process due to their fast and coherent energy migration ability. On the other hand, graphene, consisting of single layer of carbon atoms forming a hexagonal lattice, has a very low absorption coefficient. Inspired by the fact that J-aggregates have carried the role to sense the incident light in silver halide photography, we would like to use Jaggregates to increase spectral sensitivity of graphene in the visible spectrum. Nevertheless, it has been an outstanding challenge to place isolated J-aggregate films on graphene to extensively study interaction between them. We herein noncovalently fabricate isolated J-aggregate thin films on graphene by using a thin film fabrication technique we termed here membrane casting (MC). MC significantly simplifies thin film formation of water-soluble substances on any surface via porous polymer membrane. Therefore, we reversibly modulate the Dirac point of graphene in the J-aggregate/graphene van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure and demonstrate an all-carbon phototransistor gated by visible light. Owing to the hole transfer from excited excitonic thin film to graphene layer, graphene is hole-doped. In addition, spectral and power responses of the all-carbon phototransistor have been measured by using a tunable laser in the visible spectrum. The first integration of J-aggregates with graphene in a transistor structure enables one to reversibly write and erase charge doping in graphene with visible light that paves the way for using J-aggregate/graphene vdW heterostructures in optoelectronic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Large Rabi Splitting of Mixed Plasmon-Exciton States in Small Plasmonic Moire Cavities(The Optical Society, 2020) Ateş, Simge; Karademir, Ertuğrul; Balcı, Sinan; Kocabaş, Coşkun; Aydınlı, Atilla; Ateş, Simge; Ateş, Simge; Karademir, Ertuğrul; Karademir, Ertuğrul; Balcı, Sinan; Balcı, Sinan; Kocabaş, Coşkun; Kocabaş, Coşkun; Aydınlı, Atilla; Aydınlı, AtillaWe report on exciton-plasmon coupling in metallic moire cavities, both numerically and experimentally. Moire cavities fabricated using double exposure laser interference lithography were filled with a molecular dye, J-aggregate. Polarization-dependent spectroscopic reflection measurements supported by simulations reveal strong coupling of organic dye excitons with cavity modes of the plasmonic moire cavities. An anti-crossing at zero detuning, a clear indication of strong coupling, has been observed when the excitonic absorption band resonates with the cavity mode. LargeRabi splitting energies owing to the strong coupling of plasmons and excitons are clearly observed.

The incident broadband light strongly couples with the surface plasmons on the gold surface, and thus, surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are generated. The launched SPPs interfere with the incident light and generate high contrast interference fringes in the nanoslit. The transmitted SPPs through the metal nanoslit can decouple into free space and are collected by an objective in the far field. The spectroscopic information of the incidence light is obtained by fast Fourier transform of the fringe pattern of the SPPs. In our design, there is no need for a bulky dispersive spectrometer or dispersive optical elements. The dimension of the spectrometer is around 200 mu m length. Our design is based on inherent coherence of the SPP waves propagating through the subwavelength metal nanoslit structures etched into an opaque gold film.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 46Phosphor-Based White Led by Various Glassy Particles:control Over Luminous Efficiency(The Optical Society, 2019) Yüce, Hürriyet; Güner, Tuğrul; Balcı, Sinan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerGenerating white light through a mainstream remote phosphor design suffers from phosphor conversion efficiency loss due to a backscattering of light. Such a loss also reduces luminous efficiency of the resulting white light. To overcome this issue, various glassy scatterers with different morphologies such as glass bubbles, glass beads, and nanosized silica particles were employed as scatterers, together with a fixed amount of yellow phosphor (YAG:Ce3+) and a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) matrix. In addition, the simulation of the system validates the rigorous multiple scattering of the incoming light most probably due to refractive index mismatch between the glass bubbles and surrounding PDMS matrix along with the internal reflections.
