Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Polar Solvent-Free Room Temperature Synthesis of Cspbx3 (x = Br, Cl) Perovskite Nanocubes(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023) Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Kocabaş, Aşkın; Balcı, SinanConventionally, colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocubes have been synthesized by the hot-injection or ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) methods. We herein demonstrate a polar solvent-free room temperature method for the synthesis of CsPbX3 (X = Br, Cl) nanocubes. In addition to the commonly used ligand pair of oleylamine and oleic acid, guanidinium (GA) has been used to passivate the surface of the nanocrystals. Our study demonstrates that GA inhibits the formation of low dimensional structures such as nanowires and nanoplatelets and further supports the formation of perovskite nanocubes. In fact, GA diminishes the restricted monomer-addition effect of long-chain oleylammonium (OLAM) ions to the nanocrystal. We show that above a critical GA/OLAM molar ratio, the synthesis yields homogeneous CsPbX3 (X = Br, Cl) nanocubes. Importantly, we observe the nucleation and growth kinetics of the GA-assisted CsPbBr3 nanocube formation by using in situ absorption and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Small nanocrystals with an excitonic absorption peak at around 435 nm and photoluminescence (PL) maxima at 447 nm were nucleated and continuously shifted to longer wavelengths during the growth period. Crucially, our method allows the synthesis of CsPbCl3 nanocubes at room temperature without using polar organic solvents. The synthesized CsPbBr3, CsPb(Cl0.5Br0.5)3, and CsPbCl3 nanocubes have PL peaks at 508 nm, 443 nm, and 405 nm, photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) of 85%, 58% and 5%, and lifetimes of 18.98 ns, 18.97 ns, and 14.74 ns, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 84Citation - Scopus: 82Topological Engineering of Terahertz Light Using Electrically Tunable Exceptional Point Singularities(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022) Ergöktaş, M. Said; Soleymani, Sina; Kakenov, Nurbek; Wang, Kaiyuan; Smith, Thomas B.; Bakan, Gökhan; Balcı, Sinan; Principi, Alessandro; Novoselov, Kostya S.; Özdemir, Şahin K.; Kocabaş, ÇoşkunThe topological structure associated with the branch point singularity around an exceptional point (EP) can provide tools for controlling the propagation of light. Through use of graphene-based devices, we demonstrate the emergence of EPs in an electrically controlled interaction between light and a collection of organic molecules in the terahertz regime at room temperature. We show that the intensity and phase of terahertz pulses can be controlled by a gate voltage, which drives the device across the EP. Our electrically tunable system allows reconstruction of the Riemann surface associated with the complex energy landscape and provides topological control of light by tuning the loss imbalance and frequency detuning of interacting modes. Our approach provides a platform for developing topological optoelectronics and studying the manifestations of EP physics in light-matter interactions.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Strong Coupling of Carbon Quantum Dots in Liquid Crystals(American Chemical Society, 2022) Sarısözen, Sema; Polat, Nahit; Mert Balcı, Fadime; Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Kocabaş, Çoşkun; Yağlıoğlu, Halime Gül; Balcı, SinanCarbon quantum dots (CDs) have recently received a tremendous amount of interest owing to their attractive optical properties. However, CDs have broad absorption and emission spectra limiting their application ranges. We herein, for the first time, show synthesis of water-soluble red emissive CDs with a very narrow line width (∼75 meV) spectral absorbance and hence demonstrate strong coupling of CDs and plasmon polaritons in liquid crystalline mesophases. The excited state dynamics of CDs has been studied by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, and CDs display very stable and strong photoluminescence emission with a quantum yield of 35.4% and a lifetime of ∼2 ns. More importantly, we compare J-aggregate dyes with CDs in terms of their absorption line width, photostability, and ability to do strong coupling, and we conclude that highly fluorescent CDs have a bright future in the mixed light-matter states for emerging applications in future quantum technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 36Understanding Radiative Transitions and Relaxation Pathways in Plexcitons(Cell Press, 2021) Finkelstein-Shapiro, Daniel; Mante, Pierre-Adrien; Sarısözen, Sema; Wittenbecher, Lukas; Minda, Iulia; Balcı, Sinan; Pullerits, TonuMolecular aggregates on plasmonic nanoparticles have emerged as attractive systems for the studies of polaritonic light-matter states, called plexcitons. Such systems are tunable, scalable, easy to synthesize, and offer sub-wavelength confinement, all while giving access to the ultrastrong light-matter coupling regime, promising a plethora of applications. However, the complexity of these materials prevented the understanding of their excitation and relaxation phenomena. Here, we follow the relaxation pathways in plexcitons and conclude that while the metal destroys the optical coherence, the molecular aggregate coupled to surface processes significantly contributes to the energy dissipation. We use two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy with theoretical modeling to assign the different relaxation processes to either molecules or metal nanoparticle. We show that the dynamics beyond a few femtoseconds has to be considered in the language of hot electron distributions instead of the accepted lower and upper polariton branches and establish the framework for further understanding.Article Citation - WoS: 192Citation - Scopus: 194Multispectral Graphene-Based Electro-Optical Surfaces With Reversible Tunability From Visible To Microwave Wavelengths(Nature Research, 2021) Ergoktas, M. Said; Bakan, Gökhan; Kovalska, Evgeniya; Le Fevre, Lewis W.; Fields, Richard P.; Steiner, Pietro; Yu, Xiaoxiao; Balcı, SinanOptical materials with colour changing abilities have been explored for use in display devices(1), smart windows(2,3) or in the modulation of visual appearance(4-6). The efficiency of these materials, however, has strong wavelength dependence, which limits their functionality to a specific spectral range. Here, we report graphene-based electro-optical devices with unprecedented optical tunability covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum from the visible to microwave. We achieve this non-volatile and reversible tunability by electro-intercalation of lithium into graphene layers in an optically accessible device structure. The unique colour changing capability, together with area-selective intercalation, inspires the fabrication of new multispectral devices, including display devices and electro-optical camouflage coating. We anticipate that these results provide realistic approaches for programmable smart optical surfaces with a potential utility in many scientific and engineering fields such as active plasmonics and adaptive thermal management.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Strong Plasmon-Exciton Coupling in Colloidal Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals Near a Metal Film(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020) Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Polat, Nahit; Balcı, SinanAll inorganic colloidal halide perovskite nanoplatelets and nanowires are highly anisotropic shaped semiconductor nanocrystals with highly tunable optical properties in the visible spectrum. These nanocrystals have large exciton binding energies and high oscillator strengths due to their strongly quantum confined natures. The optical properties of the halide perovskites are tunable by variation of halide composition and morphology of the nanocrystals. We herein demonstrate that colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) placed in close proximity to chemically functionalized metal films show mixed plasmon-exciton formation, plexciton formation, in the strong coupling regime. The optical properties of all-inorganic lead halide perovskite NCs were controlled by colloidally synthesizing NCs with different morphologies such as nanowires and nanoplatelets or by controlling the composition of the halides in the NCs. The experimentally observed Rabi splitting energies are around 90 meV, 70 meV, and 55 meV for CsPbI3 nanoplatelets, CsPbI3 nanowires, and CsPb(Br/I)(3) nanoplatelets, respectively. In addition, the numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experimentally obtained data. The results show that colloidal all-inorganic halide perovskite NCs are promising and strong candidates for studying light-matter interaction at nanoscale dimension.Article Citation - WoS: 370Citation - Scopus: 398Graphene-Based Adaptive Thermal Camouflage(American Chemical Society, 2018) Salihoğlu, Ömer; Uzlu, Hasan Burkay; Yakar, Ozan; Aas, Shahnaz; Balcı, Osman; Kakenov, Nurbek; Balcı, Sinan; Olçum, Selim; Süzer, Şefik; Kocabaş, CoşkunIn nature, adaptive coloration has been effectively utilized for concealment and signaling. Various biological mechanisms have evolved to tune the reflectivity for visible and ultraviolet light. These examples inspire many artificial systems for mimicking adaptive coloration to match the visual appearance to their surroundings. Thermal camouflage, however, has been an outstanding challenge which requires an ability to control the emitted thermal radiation from the surface. Here we report a new class of active thermal surfaces capable of efficient real-time electrical-control of thermal emission over the full infrared (IR) spectrum without changing the temperature of the surface. Our approach relies on electro-modulation of IR absorptivity and emissivity of multilayer graphene via reversible intercalation of nonvolatile ionic liquids. The demonstrated devices are light (30 g/m2), thin (<50 μm), and ultraflexible, which can conformably coat their environment. In addition, by combining active thermal surfaces with a feedback mechanism, we demonstrate realization of an adaptive thermal camouflage system which can reconfigure its thermal appearance and blend itself with the varying thermal background in a few seconds. Furthermore, we show that these devices can disguise hot objects as cold and cold ones as hot in a thermal imaging system. We anticipate that, the electrical control of thermal radiation would impact on a variety of new technologies ranging from adaptive IR optics to heat management for outer space applications.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Graphene-Quantum Dot Hybrid Optoelectronics at Visible Wavelengths(American Chemical Society, 2018) Salihoğlu, Ömer; Kakenov, Nurbek; Balcı, Osman; Balcı, Sinan; Kocabaş, ÇoşkunWith exceptional electronic and gate-tunable optical properties, graphene provides new possibilities for active nanophotonic devices. Requirements of very large carrier density modulation, however, limit the operation of graphene based optical devices in the visible spectrum. Here, we report a unique approach that avoids these limitations and implements graphene into optoelectronic devices working in the visible spectrum. The approach relies on controlling nonradiative energy transfer between colloidal quantum-dots and graphene through gate-voltage induced tuning of the charge density of graphene. We demonstrate a new class of large area optoelectronic devices including fluorescent display and voltage-controlled color-variable devices working in the visible spectrum. We anticipate that the presented technique could provide new practical routes for active control of light-matter interaction at the nanometer scale, which could find new implications ranging from display technologies to quantum optics.Article Citation - WoS: 134Citation - Scopus: 136Electrically Switchable Metadevices Via Graphene(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018) Balcı, Osman; Kakenov, Nurbek; Karademir, Ertuğrul; Balcı, Sinan; Çakmakyapan, Semih; Polat, Emre O.; Çağlayan, Hümeyra; Özbay, Ekmel; Kocabaş, ÇoşkunMetamaterials bring subwavelength resonating structures together to overcome the limitations of conventional materials. The realization of active metadevices has been an outstanding challenge that requires electrically reconfigurable components operating over a broad spectrum with a wide dynamic range. However, the existing capability of metamaterials is not sufficient to realize this goal. By integrating passive metamaterials with active graphene devices, we demonstrate a new class of electrically controlled active metadevices working in microwave frequencies. The fabricated active metadevices enable efficient control of both amplitude (>50 dB) and phase (>90°) of electromagnetic waves. In this hybrid system, graphene operates as a tunable Drude metal that controls the radiation of the passive metamaterials. Furthermore, by integrating individually addressable arrays of metadevices, we demonstrate a new class of spatially varying digital metasurfaces where the local dielectric constant can be reconfigured with applied bias voltages. In addition, we reconfigure resonance frequency of split-ring resonators without changing its amplitude by damping one of the two coupled metasurfaces via graphene. Our approach is general enough to implement various metamaterial systems that could yield new applications ranging from electrically switchable cloaking devices to adaptive camouflage systems.
