This study develops and shows highly efficient exciton-transferring hybrid semiconductor nanocrystal films of mixed dimensionality comprising quasi 0D and 2D colloids. Through a systematic study of time-resolved and steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopy as a function of the donor-to-acceptor molar concentration ratio and temperature, a high-efficiency nonradiative energy transfer (NRET) process from CdZnS/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) directed to atomically flat CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) in their solid-state thin films is uncovered. The exciton funneling in this system reaches transfer efficiency levels as high as 90% at room temperature. In addition, this study finds that with decreasing temperature exciton transfer efficiency is increased to a remarkable maximum level of approximate to 94%. The enhancement in the dipole-dipole coupling strength with decreasing temperature is well accounted by increasing photoluminescence quantum yield of the donor and growing spectral overlap between the donor and the acceptor. Furthermore, NRET efficiency exhibits a highly linear monotonic response with changing temperature. This makes the proposed QD-NPL composites appealing for noncontact sensitive temperature probing based on NRET efficiencies as a new metric. These findings indicate that combining colloidal nanocrystals of different dimensionality enables efficient means of temperature probing at an unprecedented sensitivity level at nanoscale through almost complete exciton transfer.

Highly Stable Multicrown Heterostructures of Type-II Nanoplatelets for Ultralow Threshold Optical Gain Dede, Didem; Taghipour, Nima; Quliyeva, Ulviyya; Sak, Mustafa; Keleştemur, Yusuf; Gungor, Kivanc; Demir, Hilmi Volkan (2019-03-01) Solution-processed type-II quantum wells exhibit outstanding optical properties, which make them promising candidates for light-generating applications including lasers and LEDs. However, they may suffer from poor colloidal stability under ambient conditions and show strong tendency to assemble into face-to-face stacks. In this work, to resolve the colloidal stability and uncontrolled stacking issues, we proposed and synthesized CdSe/CdSe1-xTex/CdS core/multicrown hetero-nanoplatelets (NPLs), controlling th...
Design criteria for transparent single-wall carbon nanotube thin-film transistors Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Kanwal, A; Du Pasquier, A; Chhowalla, M (2006-04-01) A study based on two-dimensional percolation theory yielding quantitative parameters for optimum connectivity of transparent single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films is reported. Optimum SWNT concentration in the filtrated solution was found to be 0.1 mg/L with a volume of 30 mL. Such parameters lead to SWNT fractions in the films of approximately Phi = 1.8 x 10(-3), much below the metallic percolation threshold, which is found to be similar to Phi(c) = 5.5 x 10(-3). Therefore, the performance of trans...
Parallel Computation of 3-D Viscous Flows on Hybrid Grids Ilgaz, Murat; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2009-10-12) In this study, a newly developed parallel finite-volume solver for 3-D viscous flows on hybrid grids is presented. The boundary layers in wall bounded viscous flows are discretized with hexahedral cells for improved accuracy and efficiency, while the rest of the domain is discretized by tetrahedral and pyramidal cells. The computations are performed in parallel in a computer cluster. The parallel solution algorithm with hybrid grids is based on domain decomposition which is obtained using the graph partitio...
Computational simulation and realization of three-dimensional metamaterials with various exotic properties İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this study, computational analysis and realization of three-dimensional metamaterial structures that induce negative and zero permittivity and/or permeability values in their host environment, as well as plasmonic nanoparticles that are used to design metamaterials at optical frequencies are presented. All these electromagnetic problems are challenging since effective material properties become negative/zero, while numerical solvers are commonly developed for ordinary positive parameters. In real life, t...
