Here we present the first account of conductive polymer/colloidal nanoplatelet hybrids. For this, we developed DEH-PPV-based polymers with two different anchor groups (sulfide and amine) acting as surfactants for CdSe nanoplatelets, which are atomically flat semiconductor nanocrystals. Hybridization of the polymers with the nanoplatelets in the solution phase was observed to cause strong photoluminescence quenching in both materials. Through steady-state photoluminescence and excitation spectrum measurements, photoluminescence quenching was shown to result from dominant exciton dissociation through charge transfer at the polymer/nanoplatelet interfaces that possess a staggered (i.e., type II) band alignment. Importantly, we found out that sulfide-based anchors enable a stronger emission quenching than amine-based ones, suggesting that the sulfide anchors exhibit more efficient binding to the nanoplatelet surfaces. Also, shorter surfactants were found to be more effective for exciton dissociation as compared to the longer ones. In addition, we show that nanoplatelets are homogeneously distributed in the hybrid films owing to the functional polymers. These nanocomposites can be used as building blocks for hybrid optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells.

Tunable perfect metamaterial absorber design using the golden ratio and energy harvesting and sensor applications
ÜNAL, EMİN; Dincer, Furkan; TETİK, ERKAN; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; Bakir, Mehmet; Sabah, Cumali (2015-12-01)
We present the design, characterization, theoretical and experimental verification of a tunable perfect metamaterial absorber (MA) based electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesting and sensor application. We have used the golden ratio while determining the dimensions allowing a simple configuration and an easy fabrication for the proposed structure. We have examined and analyzed the perfect absorption (both numerically and experimentally) and EM energy harvesting (numerically) behaviors of the proposed structure...
Electric dipole moments of charged leptons in the split fermion scenario in the two Higgs doublet model
Iltan, EO (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-11-01)
We predict the charged lepton electric dipole moments in the split fermion scenario in the framework of the two Higgs doublet model. We observe that the numerical value of the muon (tau) electric dipole moment is of the order of the magnitude of 10(-22) e cm (10(-20) e cm) and there is an enhancement in the case of two extra dimensions, especially for the tau lepton electric dipole moment.
Charged lepton flavor physics and extra dimensions
Iltan, E. I. (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2007-06-28)
We estimate the charged lepton electric dipole moments and the branching ratios of radiative lepton flavor violating decays in the framework of the two Higgs doublet model with the inclusion of two extra dimensions. Here, we consider that the new Higgs doublet is accessible to one of the extra dimensions with a Gaussian profile and the fermions are accessible to the other extra dimension with uniform zero-mode profile. We observe that the numerical values of the physical quantities studied enhance with the ...
Vibrational frequencies and structural determination of 2,2 '-biquinoline
Yurdakul, S.; Yurdakul, Murat Hayrettin (2007-05-27)
We present a detailed analysis of the structure and infrared spectra of 2,2'-biquinoline. The vibrational frequencies of the 2,2'-biquinoline molecule have been analyzed using standard quantum chemical techniques. Frequencies have been calculated with HF, and DFT (BLYP, B3LYP and B3PW91) theory, using the standard 6-311G* as the basis set. The assignments of the observed bands corresponding to 2,2'-biquinoline were made on the basis of such calculations and the comparison with related molecules.
Coupled chemomechanics and phase field modeling of failure in electrode materials of Li ion batteries
Dal, Hüsnü (2013-03-22)
We propose a canonical finite strain theory for diffusion-mechanics coupling for the intercalation induced stress generation in Li-ion electrode particles. The intrinsic coupling arises from both mechanical pressure gradient-induced diffusion of Li-ion particles and diffusion induced swelling/shrinkage leading to mechanical stresses. In addition, we extend the finite strain theory for diffusion-mechanics coupling to chemomechanical fracture of electrode particles by introducing a nonlocal crack phase field ...
