Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Green Fabrication of Lanthanide-Doped Hydroxide-Based Phosphors: Y(oh)(3):eu3+ Nanoparticles for White Light Generation(Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2019) Güner, Tuğrul; Kuş, Anılcan; Özcan, Mehmet; Genç, Aziz; Şahin, Hasan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerPhosphors can serve as color conversion layers to generate white light with varying optical features, including color rendering index (CRI), high correlated color temperature (CCT), and luminous efficacy. However, they are typically produced under harsh synthesis conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and/or by employing a large amount of solvent. In this work, a facile, water-based, rapid method has been proposed to fabricate lanthanide-doped hydroxide-based phosphors. In this sense, sub-micrometer-sized Y(OH)(3):Eu3+ particles (as red phosphor) were synthesized in water at ambient conditions in <= 60 min reaction time. The doping ratio was controlled from 2.5-20 mol %. Additionally, first principle calculations were performed on Y(OH)(3):Eu3+ to understand the preferable doping scenario and its optoelectronic properties. As an application, these fabricated red phosphors were integrated into a PDMS/YAG:Ce3+ composite and used to generate white light. The resulting white light showed a remarkable improvement (approximate to 24%) in terms of luminous efficiency, a slight reduction of CCT (from 3900 to 3600 K), and an unchanged CRI (approximate to 60) as the amount of Y(OH)(3):Eu3+ was increased.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Color-Tunable All-Inorganic Cspbbr3 Perovskites Nanoplatelet Films for Photovoltaic Devices(American Chemical Society, 2019) Özcan, Mehmet; Özen, Sercan; Topçu, Gökhan; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanHerein, we demonstrate a novel coating approach to fabricate CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelet film with heat-free process via electrospraying from precursor solution. A detailed study is carried out to determine the effect of various parameters such as ligand concentration, electric field, flow rate, etc. on the optical properties. By controlling the volume ratios of the oleylamine (OAm) and oleic acid (OA), the coalescing and thickness of the resulting nanoplatelets can be readily tuned that results in control over emission in the range of 100 nm without any antisolvent crystallization or heating processes. The varying electrical field and flow rate was found as inefficient on the emission characteristics of the films. In addition, the crystal films were obtained under ambient conditions on the ITO coated glass surfaces as in the desired pattern. As a result, we demonstrated a facile and reproducible way of synthesizing and coating of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelets which is suitable for large-scale production. In this method, the ability of tuning the degree of quantum confinement for perovskite nanoplatelets is promising approach for the one-step fabrication of crystal films that may enable the use in optoelectronics.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 12Orthorhombic Cspbi3 Perovskites: Thickness-Dependent Structural, Optical and Vibrational Properties(Elsevier, 2020) Özen, Sercan; İyikanat, Fadıl; Özcan, Mehmet; Tekneci, Gülsüm Efsun; Eren, İsmail; Sözen, Yiğit; Şahin, HasanCesium lead halide perovskites have been subject to intense investigation, mostly because of their potential to be used in optoelectronic device applications. However, regarding the need for nanoscale materials in forthcoming nanotechnology applications, understanding of how the characteristic properties of these perovskite crystals are modified through dimensional crossover is essential. In this study, thickness-dependence of the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of orthorhombic CsPbI3, which is one of the most stable phase at room temperature, is investigated by means of state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. Our results show that (i) bilayers and monolayers of CsPbI3 can be stabilized in orthorhombic crystal symmetry, (ii) among; the possible ultra-thin perovskites only structures with CsI-terminated surface are dynamically stable (iii) electronic band gap increases with decrease in perovskite thickness due to quantum size effect and (iv) reflectivity and transmissivity of the orthorhombic CsPbI3 can be tuned by varying the thickness that modifies the electron confinement.

In this study, the effect of Mn doping on the structural and optical properties of cesium lead halide perovskite crystals are investigated from both experimental and theoretical points of view. It is found that adding MnCl2 during the synthesis not only leads to a Mn-driven structural phase transition from Cs4PbBr6 to CsPbCl3 but also triggers the Br- to Cl- halide exchange. On the other hand, it is observed that, under UV illumination, the color of Mn-doped crystals changes from orange to blue in approximately 195 h. While the intensity of Mn-originated photoluminescence emission exponentially decays in time, the intensity of CsPbCl3-originated emission remains unchanged. In addition, diffusive motion of Mn ions results in both a growing population of MnO2 at the surface and transition of the host into a cesium-rich Cs4PbCl6 phase.Article Citation - WoS: 110Citation - Scopus: 109Structural, Electronic and Phononic Properties of Ptse2: From Monolayer To Bulk(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Kandemir, Ali; Akbalı, Barış; Kahraman, Z.; Badalov, S. V.; Özcan, Mehmet; İyikanat, Fadıl; Şahin, HasanThe layer dependent structural, electronic and vibrational properties of the 1T phase of two dimensional (2D) platinum diselenide are investigated by means of state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. The main findings of the study are: (i) monolayer platinum diselenide has a dynamically stable 2D octahedral structure with 1.66 eV indirect band gap, (ii) the semiconducting nature of 1T-PtSe2 monolayers remains unaffected even at high biaxial strains, (iii) top-to-top (AA) arrangement is found to be energetically the most favorable stacking of 1T-PtSe2 layers, (iv) the lattice constant (layer-layer distance) increases (decreases) with increasing number of layers, (v) while monolayer and bilayer 1T-PtSe2 are indirect semiconductors, bulk and few-layered 1T-PtSe2 are metals, (vi) Raman intensity and peak positions of the A1g and Eg modes are found to be highly dependent on the layer thickness of the material, hence; the number of layers of the material can be determined via Raman measurements.
