Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Experimental Apparatus for Simultaneous Measurement of Triboelectricity and Triboluminescence(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Arıca, Tuğçe A.; Topçu, Gökhan; Pala, Atamert; Demir, Mustafa MuammerTriboelectricity is a phenomenon caused by the accumulation of opposite electric charges on the surfaces of two different materials as a result of contact with each other. The phenomenon of emitting cold light when the material is subjected to physical deformation is called triboluminescence. This paper presents an experimental apparatus that allows simultaneous measurement of both triboelectricity and triboluminescence of a model composite system based on poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and europium tetrakis (dibenzoylmethide) triethylammonium (EuD(4)TEA). While the former component was studied in contact-separation mode giving triboelectricity, the latter emits triboluminescence upon application of mechanical impact. The device was operated at varying range of frequencies from 0.5 to 4.8 Hz and the force in the range of 5.4-9.5 N. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

Inspired from the cornea structure, gelatin methacryloyl-poly(2-hydroxymethyl methacrylate) (GelMA-p(HEMA)) composite hydrogel was fabricated. GelMA fibers were produced via electrospinning and covered with a thin layer of p(HEMA) in the presence of N,N?-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linker by drop-casting. The structure of resulting GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was characterized by spectrophotometry, microscopy, and swelling studies. Biocompatibility and biological properties of the both p(HEMA) and GelMA-p(HEMA) composite have been investigated by 3D cell culture, red blood cell hemolysis, and protein adsorption studies (i.e., human serum albumin, human immunoglobulin and egg white lysozyme). The optical transmittance of the GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was found to be approximately 70% at 550 nm. The GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was biocompatible with tear fluid proteins and convenient for cell adhesion and growth. Thus, as prepared hydrogel composite may find extensive applications in future for the development of corneal tissue engineering as well as preparation of stroma of the corneal material. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Book Part Citation - WoS: 2Scaling Problem of the Geothermal System in Turkey(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014) Doğan, Irmak; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Baba, Alper[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Experimental and First-Principles Investigation of Cr-Driven Color Change in Cesium Lead Halide Perovskites(American Institute of Physics, 2019) Özen, Sercan; Güner, Tuğrul; Topçu, Gökhan; Özcan, Mehmet; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanHerein, we report room temperature Cr-doping for all-inorganic perovskites that have attracted great attention in recent years due to their extraordinary optical properties, low cost, and ease of synthesis. Incorporation of Cr 3 + ions into the perovskite crystal lattices is achieved by following a facile route involving an antisolvent recrystallization method at room temperature. It is shown that both Cr-doping and formation of crystals in the CsPbBr x Cl 3 - x phase are provided by increasing the concentration of the CrCl 3 solution. It is also observed that the doping procedure leads to the emergence of three types of distinctive peaks in the PL spectrum originating from CsPbBr x Cl 3 - x domains (476-427nm), Cr-strained host lattices (515nm), and midgap states formed by Cr dopants (675-775nm). It is also found that the Cr-doped perovskites emitting a dark violaceous color change their color to white with a high color rendering index (88) in 30-day time intervals. Easy-tunable optical properties of all-inorganic Cs perovskites indicate their great potential for future optoelectronic device applications.Article Citation - WoS: 89Citation - Scopus: 85Cspbbr3 Perovskites: Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on Water-Assisted Transition From Nanowire Formation To Degradation(American Physical Society, 2018) Akbalı, Barış; Topçu, Gökhan; Güner, Tuğrul; Özcan, Mehmet; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanRecent advances in colloidal synthesis methods have led to an increased research focus on halide perovskites. Due to the highly ionic crystal structure of perovskite materials, a stability issue pops up, especially against polar solvents such as water. In this study, we investigate water-driven structural evolution of CsPbBr3 by performing experiments and state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. It is seen that while an optical image shows the gradual degradation of the yellowish CsPbBr3 structure under daylight, UV illumination reveals that the degradation of crystals takes place in two steps: transition from a blue-emitting to green-emitting structure and and then a transition from a green-emitting phase to complete degradation. We found that as-synthesized CsPbBr3 nanowires (NWs) emit blue light under a 254 nm UV source. Before the degradation, first, CsPbBr3 NWs undergo a water-driven structural transition to form large bundles. It is also seen that formation of such bundles provides longer-term environmental stability. In addition theoretical calculations revealed the strength of the interaction of water molecules with ligands and surfaces of CsPbBr3 and provide an atomistic-level explanation to a transition from ligand-covered NWs to bundle formation. Further interaction of green-light-emitting bundles with water causes complete degradation of CsPbBr3 and the photoluminescence signal is entirely quenched. Moreover, Raman and x-ray-diffraction measurements revealed that completely degraded regions are decomposed to PbBr2 and CsBr precursors. We believe that the findings of this study may provide further insight into the degradation mechanism of CsPbBr3 perovskite by water.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.

This study reports a facile method for the preparation of amidoxime functionalized PIM-1 fibrous membrane (AF-PIM-FM) by electrospinning technique and its practical use for the extraction of U(VI) ions from aqueous systems via column sorption under continuous flow. Fibrous membrane form of amidoxime functionalized PIM-1 (AF-PIM-FM) was prepared by electrospinning method owing to its excellent processability in dimethylformamide. Bead-free and uniform fibers were obtained as confirmed by SEM imaging and average fiber diameter was 1.69 +/- 0.34 mu m for AF-PIM-FM. In addition, electrospun PIM-1 fibrous membrane (PIM-FM) was prepared as a control group. Structural and thermal characterization of powder and membrane forms of the materials were performed using FT-IR, H-1 NMR, XPS, Elemental analyses, TGA, and DSC. The porosity of the samples was measured by N-2 sorption isotherms confirming amidoxime PIM-1 still maintain their porosity after functionalization. Amidoxime functionality along with membrane structure makes AF-PIM-FM a promising material for uranyl adsorption. First, a comparison between powder and membrane form of amidoxime functionalized PIM-1 was investigated using batch adsorption process. Although membrane form has shown slightly lower adsorption performance in the batch adsorption process, the advantage of using the membrane in column adsorption processes makes membrane form more feasible for real applications. In addition, amidoxime modification enhanced the uranium adsorption ability of PIM-FM up to 20 times. The effect of initial concentration and pH were investigated along with regeneration of the adsorbents. AF-PIM-FM was successfully used for five adsorption-desorption cycles without having any damage on the fibrous structure.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.Article Citation - WoS: 72Citation - Scopus: 77Gd3+-Doped Alpha-Cspbi3 Nanocrystals With Better Phase Stability and Optical Properties(American Chemical Society, 2019) Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Yalçınkaya, Yenal; Özen, Sercan; Şahin, Hasan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerBlack alpha-CsPbI3 perovskites are unable to maintain their phase stability under room conditions; hence, the alpha-CsPbI3 phase transforms into a thermodynamically stable yellow delta-CsPbI3 phase within a few days, which has a nonperovskite structure and high band gap for optoelectronic applications. This phase transformation should be prevented or at least retarded to make use of superior properties of alpha-CsPbI3 in optoelectronic applications. In this study, Gd3+ doping was employed with the aim of increasing the stability of alpha-CsPbI3. All doped alpha-CsPbI3 nanocrystals with various levels of Gd3+, between 5 and 15 mol %, have shown greater phase stability than that of the pure alpha-CsPbI3 phase from 5 days up to 11 days under ambient conditions. This prolonged phase stability can be attributed to three potential reasons: increased tolerance factor of the perovskite structure, distorted cubic symmetry, and decreased defect density in nanocrystals. Urbach energy values suggest the reduction of defect density in the doped nanocrystals. Also, use of 10 mol % Gd3+ as a dopant material increases the photoluminescence quantum yield from 70 to 80% and fluorescence lifetime of alpha-CsPbI3 from 47.4 to 64.4 ns. Further, density functional theory calculations are in a good agreement with the experimental results.
