Master Thesis Emission Characteristics of a Solution Processed, Single Layer White Organic Light Emitting Diode(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Bozkuş, Volkan; Varlıklı, Canan; Gültekin, BurakWhite organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) are getting more attention day by day because of their some superior properties like viewing angle, refresh rate, flexibility, easy production process and consequently relatively cost-effective natures. Within the scope of this thesis, WOLED has been prepared and characterized by using the single emitter layer prepared by solution process method. In the emission layer, the host material is used for both obtaining the blue region of the visible spectrum and for efficient energy transfer to the green and orange-red guest material. Poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK): 2-(4-Biphenylyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) or 1,3-bis[(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl] phenylene (OXD-7) matrices are used as host for orange-red emitting material of N,N'-bis(2-ethylhexyl)perylene-3,4,9,10-dicarboxylic diimide (PDI) and green emitting material of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxy tetrabutylester (PTE). Electron and hole mobility, L-V-J characteristics and morphologies of two different host matrix of PVK:PBD and PVK:OXD-7 were examined. As a result of these evaluations, the appropriate host was determined as PVK:PBD. Host:PTE and Host:PDI emission characteristics were examined and exciplex, electroplex formations were detected. After, Host:PTE:PDI configuration were discussed and high white light properties of optimized WOLED are displayed CIE 1931 coordinates (x, y) of (0.34, 0.36), correlated colour temperature of 4916 K and CRI of 96. Finally, lethal time 70 of the latest devices was examined.Master Thesis Photophysical Characterization of Green and Blue Emitting Quantum Dots and Their Application in Qd-Leds(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Özgüler, Şahika; Varlıklı, CananQLED device construction and characterization studies were carried out in which QD nanoparticles synthesized within the scope of TÜBİTAK project no 115F616, and were used as emission layer. By examining the photo-physical and morphological properties of films prepared with the use of quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles, quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) which are one of the fields of molecular electronics, were applied as an emission layer using the spin coating technique from wet coating processes. The photo-physical and morphological characterizations of the solution and film phase of blue and green emitted QD nanoparticles were made. For the QDs, the concentration difference in the solution phase was characterized and its effects on film properties were investigated. It has been determined that the increase in concentration does not have a dramatic effect on photo-physical properties but seriously affects film thickness and surface roughness. In this case, performance of blue and green light emitting quantum dot diodes (QLED) prepared by the spin-coating technique, where each QD film is used as the emission layer, have been investigated.Master Thesis A Comparative Study on the Photocatalytic Activity of Dye-Sensitized and Non-Sensitized Graphene Oxide-Ti̇o2 Composites Under Simulated and Direct Sunlight(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) İlhan, Hatice; Varlıklı, Canan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerAmine modified graphene oxide (mGO) and TiO2 composite was synthesized by low temperature hydrothermal method. Characterization of the synthesized material was carried out by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and BET analysis techniques. The films of mGO:TiO2 and formerly synthesized TiO2, N-TiO2, GO-TiO2 and GO:N-TiO2 were fabricated by doctor blade method and employed as photocatalysts for the photodegradation of Rhodamine-B (RhB) dye under simulated (Xe lamb) and direct sun-light. P25 was also used as reference photocatalyst for all of the synthesized ones. Photodegradation of RhB was monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Among all the catalysts, GO:N-TiO2, the composite of GO and N-doped TiO2, presented the best photocatalytic activity and although the activity of mGO:TiO2 was better than the activities of P25 and TiO2, it presented lower degradation rate constant even than that of the N-TiO2. It is proposed that increased abundance of C-C bonds and decreased number of oxygenated functional groups on mGO:TiO2, in addition to the morphological difference between GO (sheet like) and mGO (dot like) has great influence on their photocatalytic activities. Among the GO containing photocatalysts including mGO:TiO2, specific surface area (SSA) and number of RhB molecules per film volume were the lowest and particle size was the highest for mGO:TiO2. Although the number of RhB molecules per film volume was higher in mGO:TiO2 than that of the N-TiO2, it is thought that approximately 2 folds higher SSA of N-TiO2 allowed better photocatalytic performance. Additionally, the films were sensitized with PTE dye to obtain effective catalysts in visible region and reusability of the films were also tested. Degradation rate constants of all fabricated films have increased under both of the irradiation media and no significant change in rate constants were detected after the reusability tests.Master Thesis Fabrication of Colloidal Photonic Crystals Via Langmuir Blodgett Technique and Their Integration of Polymer Matrix(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) İnci, Ezgi; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Varlıklı, CananColloidal films have potential uses in various fields such as photonics, electronics, sensors, membrane filters, and surface devices owing to their unique optical properties. Photonic crystals composed of uniform diameter colloidal silica particles have been arranged in a periodic structure by taking inspiration from nature. The periodic structure of silica particles has physical interaction with light in a visible range. This special interaction is known as structural coloration. The close-packed monolayers and multilayers of colloidal silica particles in large area can be produced by using Langmuir Blodgett method. The integration of these photonic films with transparent polymer matrices having an elastomer feature provides for their use in optical sensor applications. In this thesis, we examined the fabrication of mechano-sensitive nanostructured films based on colloidal particles. Silica colloidal particles were synthesized at different sizes by using Stöber Process. Langmuir-Blodgett deposition was used to create three-layer of photonic crystal films with different particle diameters. For this purpose, various substrates were examined for the Langmuir Blodgett deposition process before starting the coating. The coated silica particles on the glass substrate were then embedded in an elastomeric transparent matrix. The generation of structural coloration after stretching was examined in manufactured elastomer films. In accordance with this purpose, various polymers such as acrylates and siloxanes with elastomer properties have been used. The structural characterization of these composite films and their optical properties were summarized in this thesis.
