Master Thesis Development of Copper and Manganese Doped Ternary Colloidal Quqntum Dot Alloys(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Yırtıcı, İlayda Melek; Özçelik, SerdarSemiconductor nanocrystals have great interest due to their unique optical properties such as the particle size and the alloy composition dependent spectra, photochemical and colloidal stability. They have wide range of potential applications like solar cells, light emitting diodes (LED) and bioimaging etc. In this thesis, colloidal ternary Cu doped and undoped ZnSxSe1-x nanoalloys were synthesized by modified one pot aqueous approach. TGA and MPA ligands were used as capping agents for the synthesis of ZnSxSe1-x and Cu doped ZnSxSe1-x colloidal nanoalloys. The results showed that capping agents have an significant effect on optical properties of ZnSxSe1-x nanoalloys. Although the TGA capped nanoalloys have well-defined absorption bands rather than MPA capped ones, ZnSxSe1-x nanoalloys with TGA capping agent fluorescence peak was not observed. Therefore, the further study was continued with MPA capped ZnS xSe1-x ternary nanoalloys. Optical spectra demonstrated both absorption and PL spectra were shifted due to the adding of Cu dopant. Absorption peak shifted from 335 nm to 376 nm. Fluoroscence spectra also was redshift from 469 nm to 565 nm. Thus, we can conclude that, colloidal ternary nanoalloys optical properties can be tuned by using chemical doping. On the other hand, the optical and structural properties of binary ZnSe QDs, Mn and Cu doped ZnSe nanocrystals were investigated. We concluded that ZnSe and ZnS xSe1-x nanocrystals can be used to synthesize doped nanocrystals by chemical doping. We demonstrated that optical and structural properties of Cu and Mn doped ZnSe can be tuned by chemical doping.Master Thesis Development of Semiconductor Nanocrystals for Biotechnological Applications(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Ünlü, Caner; Özçelik, SerdarSemiconductor nanocrystals are very useful tools in biological applications because of their unique optical properties. In this study, synthesis and characterization of CdTe / CdS and CdSexS1-x nanocrystals were carried out. CdSexS1-x nanocrystals were synthesized by a modified two phase method. Highly luminescent (Quantum yied . %80) , monodisperse and face centered cubic CdSexS1-x nanocrystals were obtained in toluene. The size of nanoparticles varies from 3.5 to 3.7 nm Ligand exchange was performed on CdSexS1-x nanocrystals and luminescent water soluble CdSexS1-x nanocrystals were obtained. CdTe / CdS nanocrystals were synthesized in one step and and one pot by a modified method. Face centered cubic, luminescent (Quantum yield . 30%) and monodisperse CdTe / CdS nanocrystals with different sizes in a size range from 4.7 to 9.3 nm were obtained in water. Toxicity of CdTe / CdS nanocrystals was determined by MTT test. The lethal concentrations were respectively 1.0 and 15 .g/ml for PC3 and MCF7 cells. Confocal microscopy shows that the nanoparticles enter to the cytoplasm of cells.
