Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Exploring Noncentrifugal Sugar as a Partial Replacement for White Sugar in Low Methoxyl Pectin Confectionery Gels: Impacts on Physical and Rheological Properties(American Chemical Society, 2024) Fakhar, Hafiz Imran; Çavdaroğlu, Elif; Hayat, Muhammad Qasim; Janjua, Hussnain A.; Oztop, Mecit HalilNoncentrifugal sugar (NCS) is an unrefined, dark brown sugar containing minerals and plant secondary metabolites, unlike refined white sugar (WS). This study explored using NCS in confectionary jellies as an alternative sugar. We used different concentrations of NCS and WS to prepare low methoxyl pectin (LMP) confectionery gels characterized by their physical and rheological properties along with time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) relaxometry. The strongest LMP gel, with a hardness of 0.94 N, was achieved by substituting 25% of WS with NCS at a low CaCl2 concentration (0.075 M). Gels with up to 50% WS replaced by NCS showed comparable hardness to standard LMP gels made solely with WS at a 0.15 M CaCl2 concentration, attributed to NCS's unique constituents. The NCS-WS gel exhibited the shortest T2 values (139.8 ms) and self-diffusion coefficient values (4.99 x 10-10 m2/s), indicating a denser, more cross-linked structure that restricted water mobility. These findings suggest NCS's complex role in affecting LMP gels' chemical and physical properties, highlighting its potential as a partial WS replacement in LMP gelation-based products, with an additional source of minerals and antioxidants.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 18Improvement of Photophysical Properties of Cspbbr3 and Mn2+:cspb(br,cl)(3) Perovskite Nanocrystals by Sr2+ Doping for White Light-Emitting Diodes(American Chemical Society, 2022) Yüce, Hürriyet; Mandal, Mukunda; Yalçınkaya, Yenal; Andrienko, Denis; Demir, Mustafa MuammerAll-inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) having the general formula ABX(3), where A is a monovalent cation, for example, Cs+, B is a divalent cation, typically Pb2+, and X is Cl-, Br-, I-, or their binary mixture, show potential in optoelectronic devices. In this work, we explore the effect of B-site doping on the optoelectronic properties of CsPbX3 NCs (X = Br, Cl). First, the Pb2+ ions in the pristine CsPbBr3 NC are partially substituted by Mn2+ ions. The alkaline earth metal strontium is then doped on both pristine and the Mn2+-substituted NCs. We found that a small percentage of Sr2+ doping remarkably improves the photoluminescence quantum yield of CsPbBr3 and Mn2+-state emission in Mn2+:CsPb(Br,Cl)(3) NCs. Perovskite NC film/ poly(methyl methacrylate) composites with all four NC variants were used in a white light-emitting diode (WLED), where Sr2+ doping increased the luminous efficiency of the WLED by similar to 4.7%. We attribute this performance enhancement to a reduced defect density and an attenuated microstrain in the local NC structure.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Silylethynyl substitution for preventing aggregate formation in perylene diimides(American Chemical Society, 2021) Aksoy, Erkan; Danos, Andrew; Li, Chunyong; Monkman, Andrew P.; Varlıklı, CananEthynylene-bridged perylene diimides (PDIs) with different sized silane groups have been synthesized as a steric blocking group to prevent the formation of non-radiative trap sites, for example, strong H-aggregates and other dimers or excimers. Excited singlet-state exciton dynamics were investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence and ultrafast pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy. The spectra of the excimer or dimer aggregates formed by the PDIs at high concentrations were also determined. Although the photophysical properties of the bare and shielded PDIs are identical at micromolar concentrations, more shielded PDI2 and PDI3 exhibited resistance to aggregation, retaining higher photoluminescence quantum yield even at 10 mM concentration and in neat films. The PDIs also exhibited high photostability (1 h of continuous excitation), as well as electrochemical stability (multiple cycles with cyclic voltammetry). Prevention of dimer/aggregate formation in this manner will extend the uses of PDIs to a variety of high concentration photonics and optoelectronic applications, such as organic light-emitting diodes, organic photovoltaics, and luminescent solar concentrators.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 31-Octanol Is a Functional Impurity Modifying Particle Size and Photophysical Properties of Colloidal Zncdsse/Zns Nanocrystals(American Chemical Society, 2021) Sevim Ünlütürk, Seçil; Çağır, Ali; Varlıklı, Canan; Özçelik, SerdarImpurities in trioctylphophine (TOP) strongly affect nanocrystal synthesis. 1-Octanol among other contaminants in TOP is identified for the first time as a functional impurity by H-1 NMR. The deliberate addition of 1-octanol into trioctylphosphine reduced particle size and modified photophysical properties of ZnCdSSe/ZnS colloidal nanocrystals. NMR analysis furthermore revealed that 1-octanol is bonded to the nanocrystal surfaces. The ratio of integrals for the O-CH2 protons of 1-octanol, which is the lowest compared to the other ligands, suggests that 1-octanol plays a critical role to tune the particle size of nanocrystals. The increased amount of 1-octanol added into TOP reduces the particle size from 9.8 to 7.2 nm, causing a progressive blue shift in the UV-vis and PL spectra but leaving the alloy composition unaffected. The rate of nonradiative processes is enhanced with the amount of 1-octanol added into TOP, correlating with higher dislocation density observed in the nanocrystals. As a conclusion, 1-octanol is proposed as a functional impurity that varies particle size and nonradiative photophysical processes in the ZnCdSSe/ZnS colloidal nanocrystals.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Reducing the Efficiency Roll Off and Applied Potential-Induced Color Shifts in Cdse@zns/Zns-based Light-Emitting Diodes(American Chemical Society, 2020) Özgüler, Şahika; Diker, Halide; Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Özçelik, Serdar; Varlıklı, CananGreen light-emitting CdSe@ZnS/ZnS (QD) nano-particles were synthesized; the photophysical and morphological properties of their films, which were prepared by spin coating from six different concentrations, corresponding to absorbance values of 0.6, 1.1, 1.6, 2.1, 2.8, and 4.0, were determined. Increasing the absorbance value from 0.6 to 4.0 did not change the photophysical properties of QD films to a large extent, whereas it resulted in an increment in QD film thickness from 20 to 110 nm. The films were utilized as an emissive layer in QD light-emitting diodes with poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), PVK:2-(4-biphenyllyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), and PVK:1,3-bis[(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl]-phenylene (OXD-7) hole-transport layers (HTLs). The presence of PBD or OXD-7 in PVK reduced the efficiency values but played a positive role in the color purity and efficiency roll off. The maximum color temperature and electroluminescence wavelength shifts obtained with applied potential were 109, 50, and 50 K and 11, 5, and 5 nm for pure-PVK, PVK:PBD, and PVK:OXD-7-based devices, respectively. Hole mobility, capacitance (at 10(3) Hz), and charge-transfer efficiency values were 9.0 x 10(-7), 6.8 x 10(-7), and 4.2 x 10(-7) cm(2) V s(-1), 1.7, 1, and 1 nF, and 6.90%, 15.50%, and 16.10% for pure-PVK, PVK:PBD, and PVK:OXD-7-based devices, respectively. Enhanced color purity and lowered efficiency roll off obtained with PVK:PBD and PVK:OXD-7 HTLs were attributed to decreased capacitance, increased charge-transfer efficiency, and reduced Joule heating.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 34Pore Size and Porosity Dependent Zeta Potentials of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles(American Chemical Society, 2020) Yakın, Fetiye Esin; Barışık, Murat; Şen, TümcanMesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are synthesized in the various forms of porous structures according to an application's needs, while their zeta potentials play a major role in their function. We show that variation in pore size and/or porosity yields a substantial decrease in MSNP zeta potential up to 25% lower than the theoretical zeta potential predictions for a flat surface at the corresponding ionic conditions in moderate pH range. By considering surface chemistry as a function of local ionic conditions (charge regulation), we calculated local zeta potentials around the MSNP which showed variation between pore openings and solid surfaces. Through a systematic study, we evaluated an average three-dimensional zeta potential for MSNPs with various conditions, based on the ratio of the area covered by pore openings to the rest of the MSNP surface area as a function of three-dimensional porosity and pore size. Results show that the high overlap of ionic layers inside the pores creates electric potentials close to zeta potential of the remaining surface, but large pore size and/or high ionic salt concentration yields divergence. We characterized the variation of MSNP zeta potential in terms of porosity (epsilon(3D)), pore size (D-pore), and ionic condition quantified by Debye length (lambda) and obtained unified behavior as a function of the nondimensional group of epsilon(3D)(D-pore/lambda). For epsilon(3D)(D-pore/lambda) < 0.01, MSNP zeta potential remains similar to flat plate predictions, but it decreases by increasing epsilon(3D)(D-pore/lambda) value. The influence of pore entrances on surface zeta potential increases nonlinearly by the increase of porosity and/or decrease of EDL overlap, similar to a change of area to volume ratio. The current findings are important for the understanding and further control of mesoporous particle transport in various promising and groundbreaking applications such as targeted drug delivery.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Enhanced Spontaneous Emission Rate in a Low-Q Hybrid Photonic-Plasmonic Nanoresonator(American Chemical Society, 2019) Gökbulut, Belkıs; İnanç, Arda; Topçu, Gökhan; Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; İnci, Mehmet NaciIn this paper, CdTe quantum dots (QDs)-doped single electrospun polymer nanofibers are partially coated with gold nanoparticles to form distinct hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonators to investigate the critical role of the cavity-confined hybrid mode on the modification of the spontaneous emission dynamics of the fluorescent emitters in low-Q photonic cavities. A total enhancement factor of 11.2 is measured via a time-resolved experimental technique, which shows that there is an increase of about three times in the spontaneous emission rate for the QDs-doped gold nanoparticle-decorated nanofibers as they are compared with those uncoated ones. The physical mechanism affecting the spontaneous emission rate of the encapsulated QDs in such a hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonator is explained to be due to regeneration of the mode field in the nanofiber cavity upon the interaction of the dipoles with the surface plasmons of distinctive gold nanoparticles that surround the outer surface of the nanofiber.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 28Enhanced Stability of Single-Layer W-Gallenene Through Hydrogenation(American Chemical Society, 2018) Badalov, S. V.; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Peeters, François M.; Şahin, HasanUsing density functional theory based first-principles calculations, the effect of surface hydrogenation on the structural, dynamical, electronic, and mechanical properties of monolayer washboard-gallenene (w-gallenene) is investigated. It is found that the dynamically stabilized strained monolayer of w-gallenene has a metallic nonmagnetic ground state. Both one-sided and two-sided hydrogenations of w-gallenene suppress its dynamical instability even when unstrained. Unlike one-sided hydrogenated monolayer w-gallenene (os-w-gallenene), two-sided hydrogenated monolayer w-gallenene (ts-w-gallenene) possesses the same crystal structure as w-gallenene. Electronic band structure calculations reveal that monolayers of hydrogenated derivatives of w-gallenene exhibit also metallic nonmagnetic ground state. Moreover, the linear-elastic constants, in-plane stiffness and Poisson ratio, are enhanced by hydrogenation, which is opposite to the behavior of other hydrogenated monolayer crystals. Furthermore, monolayer w-gallenene and ts-w-gallenene remain dynamically stable up to relatively higher biaxial strains as compared to borophene. With its enhanced dynamical stability, robust metallic character, and enhanced linear-elastic properties, hydrogenated monolayer w-gallenene is a potential candidate for nanodevice applications as a two-dimensional flexible metal.Article Citation - WoS: 93Citation - Scopus: 95Single-Layer Janus-Type Platinum Dichalcogenides and Their Heterostructures(American Chemical Society, 2019) Kahraman, Zeynep; Kandemir, Ali; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Şahin, HasanUltrathin two-dimensional Janus-type platinum dichalcogenide crystals formed by two different atoms at opposite surfaces are investigated by performing state-of-the-art density functional theory calculations. First, it is shown that single-layer PtX2 structures (where X = S, Se, or Te) crystallize into the dynamically stable IT phase and are indirect band gap semiconductors. It is also found that the substitutional chalcogen doping in all PtX2 structures is favorable via replacement of surface atoms with a smaller chalcogen atom, and such a process leads to the formation of Janus-type platinum dichalcogenides (XPtY, where X and Y stand for S, Se, or Te) which are novel single-layer crystals. While all Janus structures are indirect band gap semiconductors as their binary analogues, their Raman spectra show distinctive features that stem from the broken out-of-plane symmetry. In addition, it is revealed that the construction of Janus crystals enhances the piezoelectric constants of PtX2 crystals significantly both in the in plane and in the out-of-plane directions. Moreover, it is shown that vertically stacked van der Waals heterostructures of binary and ternary (Janus) platinum dichalcogenides offer a wide range of electronic features by forming bilayer heterojunctions of type-I, type-II, and type-III, respectively. Our findings reveal that Janus-type ultrathin platinum dichalcogenide crystals are quite promising materials for optoelectronic device applications.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Enhancement of the Spontaneous Emission Rate of Perovskite Nanowires Coupled Into Cylindrical Hollow Nanocavities Formed on the Surface of Polystyrene Microfibers(American Chemical Society, 2019) Gökbulut, Belkis; İnanç, Arda; Topçu, Gökhan; Güner, Tuğrul; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; İnci, M. NaciFluorescent CsPbBr3 nanowires are uniformly integrated into a porous polystyrene matrix in the form of microfibers to investigate the changes in their spontaneous emission rate. Cylindrical hollow nanocavities, ranging from 75 to 160 nm in diameter, are grown on the surface of the polymer microfibers during the fabrication process, which allow coupling light that is emitted from the excited CsPbBr3 nanowires. Time-resolved experiments elucidate that the spontaneous emission rate of the perovskite nanowires is observed to increase by a factor of 4.9, upon coupling of the excited optical modes into the nanocavities, which is demonstrated to be in good agreement with our theoretical calculations.
