The present study reports a facile preparation method for poly(o-phenylenediamine) [p(o-PDA)] micro-particles loaded to magnetic carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel beads as adsorbents. The prepared products were characterized by FTIR, TGA, VSM, SEM, BET, and zeta sizer. The Fe3O4@p(o-PDA)@CMC beads were used for the removal of Reactive Blue 4 (RB-4) and Congo Red (CR) textile dyes from an aqueous medium. Different factors, such as adsorbent dose, initial pH, ionic strength, contact time, temperatures, and initial RB-4 and CR concentrations were examined. The maximum adsorption capacities of the RB-4 dye and CR at optimum pH 5 reached 398.7 and 524.6 mg/g in 120 min, respectively. The adsorption of RB-4 and CR on the hybrid magnetic beads can be due to the electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. Moreover, the magnetic hybrid beads showed easy regeneration ability and good reusability. The adsorbent can be a very good candidate for the efficient removal of micro-pollutant from wastewater.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Enhanced Light–matter Interaction in a Hybrid Photonic–plasmonic Cavity(Springer, 2021) Gökbulut, Belkıs; İnanç, Arda; Topçu, Gökhan; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; İnci, Mehmet NaciStrongly concentrated optical fields around a metal nanoparticle in the close vicinity of a dipole noticeably facilitate dramatic changes in the localized density of states due to hybrid photonic–plasmonic mode couplings as compared to that of the pure cavity mode fields. Significant variations of the field intensity in the presence of the metal nanoparticle elucidate enhanced light–matter interaction in a hybrid structure. The enhancement factor of the light–matter interaction is studied through the single-atom cooperativity parameter, which is directly proportional to the ratio of the fluorescence lifetimes of the off-resonant and on-resonant emission. A compact and cost-effective hybrid device, which includes a microfiber cavity, supporting whispering gallery modes, and a well-defined solid nanostructure, consisting of a gold nanoparticle core, overcoated by a silica shell, and decorated with CdS/CdSe quantum dots, is demonstrated to offer an outstanding potential for the enhancement of light–matter interaction. Surface plasmons of a gold nanoparticle, placed inside a hollow cylindrical nanostructure at the surface of a microfiber, are activated upon excitation of the dipoles of the quantum emitters, which are on-resonance with the whispering gallery mode. Time-resolved experiments demonstrate that the single-atom cooperativity parameter of the quantum dots is enhanced by a factor of about 4.8 in the presence of the gold nanoparticle being simultaneously in strong interaction with the cavity mode field and the metal nanoparticle’s surface plasmons.Correction Correction To: Enhanced Light–matter Interaction in a Hybrid Photonic–plasmonic Cavity(Springer, 2022) Gökbulut, Belkıs; İnanç, Arda; Topçu, Gökhan; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; İnci, Mehmet NaciIn this article the statement in the Funding information section was incorrect.

For anticounterfeiting, random and inimitable droplet/fiber patterns were created by the electrospinning method as security tags that are detectable under UV light but invisible in daylight. To check the authenticity of the original security patterns created; images were collected with a simple smartphone microscope and a database of the recorded original patterns was created. The originality of the random patterns was checked by comparing them with the patterns recorded in the database. In addition, the spectral signature of the patterns in the droplet/fiber network was obtained with a simple and hand-held spectrometer. Thus, by reading the spectral signature from the pattern, the spectral information of the photoluminescent nanoparticles was verified and thus a second-step verification was established. In this way, anticounterfeiting technology that combines ink formula, unclonable security pattern creation and two-level verification is developed.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 6Hybrid Photonic-Plasmonic Mode-Coupling Induced Enhancement of the Spontaneous Emission Rate of Cds/Cdse Quantum Emitters(Elsevier, 2022) Gökbulut, Belkıs; İnanç, Arda; Topçu, Gökhan; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Mustafa Muammern this paper, a hybrid photonic-plasmonic resonator, which comprises an electrospun polymer fiber with a micrometer diameter and a core/shell nanostructure with a gold nanoparticle core, is constructed to investigate the dynamics of the coupled spontaneous emission of CdS/CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The gold nanoparticle core; covered with a silica shell, anchored with individual CdS/CdSe QDs, is placed inside a hollow cylindrical nanocavity formed on the surface of the microfiber to enable integration of the optical mode with the plasmonic effect, which is induced by the localized surface plasmons of the metal nanoparticle being present in the vicinity of the dipoles. The spontaneous emission rate of the QDs, coupled into the hybrid photonic-plasmonic mode, is measured to enhance by a factor of 23 via a time-resolved experimental technique. This result suggests that the regeneration of the optical mode-field inside the photonic-plasmonic resonator through the interaction of the dipoles with the localized surface plasmons of a metal nanoparticle strongly enhances the density of the electromagnetic states of the quantum emitters to facilitate an enhanced spontaneous emission within the host medium of the proposed polymer based-photonic structure.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6An Anticounterfeiting Technology Combining an Inp Nanoparticle Ink and a Versatile Optical Device for Authentication(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Taşcıoğlu, Didem; Sevim Ünlütürk, Seçil; Özçelik, SerdarCounterfeiting is a growing issue and causes economic losses. Fluorescent inks containing In(Zn)P/ZnS/DDT colloidal nanoparticles are formulated and combined with a convenient optical device for authentication. The particle size and fluorescent colors of the colloidal nanoparticles were tuned by adjusting the reaction temperature. The particle stability and brightness were improved by the addition of dodecanethiol, coating the particle surface with an organic shell. Security patterns were printed on various substrates by applying the screen-printing technique. The patterns were invisible under daylight but observable under UV-light illumination, displaying five different emission colors. By adjusting the concentration of the nanoparticles in the ink, the security patterns were made almost not observable under UV-light illumination but clearly identified by a commercial fiber optics-based spectrometer and a handheld optical device, called a Quantag sensor that was developed in-house. Furthermore, the spectral signatures of barely noticeable patterns are unambiguously validated by the Quantag sensor. Accordingly, low cost and easily applicable anticounterfeiting technology powered by custom-formulated fluorescent inks and a handheld optical instrument are developed to authenticate valuable documents and products.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Mn2+ Ions Incorporated Into Znsxse1-X Colloidal Quantum Dots: Controlling Size and Composition of Nanoalloys and Regulating Magnetic Dipolar Interactions(IOP Publishing, 2021) Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Akdoğan, Yaşar; Özçelik, SerdarA facile synthesis method is introduced how to prepare magnetically active ultraviolet emitting manganese ions incorporated into ZnSxSe1-x colloidal quantum dot (nanoalloy) at 110 degrees C in aqueous solutions. The reaction time is the main factor to control the hydrodynamic size from 3 to 10 nm and the precursor ratio is significant to tune the alloy composition. ZnS shell layer on the ZnSxSe1-x core was grown to passivate environmental effects. The nanoalloy has ultraviolet emission at 380 nm having a lifetime of 80 ns and 7% quantum yield. The incorporation of Mn2+ ions into the nanoalloys induced magnetic activity but did not modify the structure and photophysical properties of the nanoalloys. Colloidal and powdery samples were prepared and analyzed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In the colloidal dispersions, EPR spectra showed hyperfine line splitting regardless of the Mn2+ ion fractions, up to 6%, indicating that Mn2+ ions incorporated into the nanoalloys were isolated. EPR signals of the powdery samples were broadened when the fraction of Mn2+ ions was higher than 0.1%. The EPR spectra were simulated to reveal the locations and interactions of Mn2+ ions. The simulations suggest that the Mn2+ ions are located on the nanoalloy surfaces. These findings infer that the magnetic dipolar interactions are regulated by the initial mole ratio of Mn/Zn and the physical state of the nanoalloys adjusted by preparation methods.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14Laser Assisted Synthesis of Anisotropic Metal Nanocrystals and Strong Light-Matter Coupling in Decahedral Bimetallic Nanocrystals(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Mert Balcı, Fadime; Sarısözen, Sema; Polat, Nahit; Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Karadeniz, Uğur; Tertemiz, Necip Ayhan; Balcı, SinanThe advances in colloid chemistry and nanofabrication allowed us to synthesize noble monometallic and bimetallic nanocrystals with tunable optical properties in the visible and near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the strong coupling regime, surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) of metal nanoparticles interact with excitons of quantum dots or organic dyes and plasmon-exciton hybrid states called plexcitons are formed. Until now, various shaped metal nanoparticles such as nanorods, core-shell nanoparticles, hollow nanoparticles, nanoprisms, nanodisks, nanorings, and nanobipyramids have been synthesized to generate plasmon-exciton mixed states. However, in order to boost plasmon-exciton interaction at nanoscale dimensions and expand the application of plexcitonic nanocrystals in a variety of fields such as solar cells, light emitting diodes, and nanolasers, new plexcitonic nanocrystals with outstanding optical and chemical properties remain a key goal and challenge. Here we report laser-assisted synthesis of decahedral shaped noble metal nanocrystals, tuning optical properties of the decahedral shaped nanocrystals by galvanic replacement reactions, colloidal synthesis of bimetallic decahedral shaped plexcitonic nanocrystals, and strong plasmon-plasmon interaction in bimetallic decahedral shaped noble metal nanocrystals near a metal film. We photochemically synthesize decahedral Ag nanoparticles from spherical silver nanoparticles by using a 488 nm laser. The laser assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticles yields decahedral (bicolored) and prism (monocolored) shaped silver nanocrystals. The decahedral shaped nanoparticles were selectively separated from prism shaped nanoparticles by centrifugation. The optical properties of decahedral nanocrystals were tuned by the galvanic replacement reaction between gold ions and silver atoms. Excitons of J-aggregate dyes and SPPs of decahedral bimetallic nanoparticles strongly couple and hence decahedral shaped plexcitonic nanoparticles are prepared. In addition, localized SPPs of decahedral shaped bimetallic nanocrystals interact strongly with the propagating SPPs of a flat silver film and hence new hybrid plasmonic modes (plasmonic nanocavities) are generated. The experimental results are further fully corroborated by theoretical calculations including decahedral shaped plexcitonic nanoparticles and decahedral nanoparticles coupled to flat metal films.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Bodipy-Based Organic Color Conversion Layers for Wleds(Elsevier, 2020) Yüce, Hürriyet; Güner, Tuğrul; Dartar, Suay; Kaya, Beraat Umur; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Demir, Mustafa MuammerThe usage of organic dyes in phosphor conversion layer of WLED is an attractive approach since they have high molar extinction coefficient and photostability. Various types of organic pigments have been employed for this purpose such as BODIPY, perylene diimide, Rhodamine B, pyrene, Nile red, etc. Among those, BODIPY-based organic dyes appear to be promising candidate for white light generation. In this work, for the first time, red and green emitting BODIPY-based organic molecules have been used as colour conversion layer. These molecules were associated with PMMA in DMF solution and the resulting solution was subjected to electrospinning. Colorful electrospun mats were embedded into PDMS matrix and their free-standing PDMS composite films were used as color conversion layers over blue LED to produce white light such that CRI of 95 and CCT of 4200 K was achieved. These values show that BODIPY-based organic molecules containing fiber composites are promising candidates to be used as color conversion layers for white light applications.
