Item Embargo Dual-Resonance nanostructures for color downconversion of colloidal quantum emitters(American Chemical Society, 2023-12-12) Ha, Son Tung; Lassalle, Emmanuel; Liang, Xiao; Do, Thi Thu Ha; Foo, Ian; Shendre, Sushant; Durmusoglu, Emek G.; Valuckas, Vytautas; Adhikary, Sourav; Paniagua-Dominguez, Ramon; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Kuznetsov, Arseniy I.We present a dual-resonance nanostructure made of a titanium dioxide (TiO2) subwavelength grating to enhance the color downconversion efficiency of CdxZn1-xSeyS1-y colloidal quantum dots (QDs) emitting at ∼530 nm when excited with a blue light at ∼460 nm. A large mode volume can be created within the QD layer by the hybridization of the grating resonances and waveguide modes, resulting in large absorption and emission enhancements. Particularly, we achieved polarized light emission with a maximum photoluminescence enhancement of ∼140 times at a specific angular direction and a total enhancement of ∼34 times within a 0.55 numerical aperture (NA) of the collecting objective. The enhancement encompasses absorption, Purcell and outcoupling enhancements. We achieved a total absorption of 35% for green QDs with a remarkably thin color conversion layer of ∼400 nm. This work provides a guideline for designing large-volume cavities for absorption/fluorescence enhancement in microLED display, detector, or photovoltaic applications. © 2023 American Chemical Society.Item Open Access High external quantum efficiency light-emitting diodes enabled by advanced heterostructures of type-ii nanoplatelets(American Chemical Society, 2023-03-13) Durmusoglu, Emek G.; Hu, Sujuan; Hernandez-Martinez, Pedro Ludwig; Izmir, Merve; Shabani,Farzan; Guo, Min; Gao, Huayu; Isik, Furkan; Delikanli, Savas; Sharma, Vijay Kumar; Liu, Baiquan; Demir, Hilmi VolkanColloidal quantum wells (CQWs), also known as nanoplatelets (NPLs), are exciting material systems for numerous photonic applications, including lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Although many successful type-I NPL-LEDs with high device performance have been demonstrated, type-II NPLs are not fully exploited for LED applications, even with alloyed type-II NPLs with enhanced optical properties. Here, we present the development of CdSe/CdTe/CdSe core/crown/crown (multi-crowned) type-II NPLs and systematic investigation of their optical properties, including their comparison with the traditional core/crown counterparts. Unlike traditional type-II NPLs such as CdSe/CdTe, CdTe/CdSe, and CdSe/CdSexTe1–x core/crown heterostructures, here the proposed advanced heterostructure reaps the benefits of having two type-II transition channels, resulting in a high quantum yield (QY) of 83% and a long fluorescence lifetime of 73.3 ns. These type-II transitions were confirmed experimentally by optical measurements and theoretically using electron and hole wave function modeling. Computational study shows that the multi-crowned NPLs provide a better-distributed hole wave function along the CdTe crown, while the electron wave function is delocalized in the CdSe core and CdSe crown layers. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, NPL-LEDs based on these multi-crowned NPLs were designed and fabricated with a record high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.83% among type-II NPL-LEDs. These findings are expected to induce advanced designs of NPL heterostructures to reach a fascinating level of performance, especially in LEDs and lasers.Item Open Access Near-infrared emission from CdSe-Based nanoplatelets induced by Ytterbium doping(American Chemical Society, 2023-02-15) İzmir, Merve; Durmusoglu, Emek G.; Sharma, Manoj; Shabani, Farzan; Işık, Furkan; Delikanlı, Savaş; Sharma, Vijay Kumar; Demir, Hilmi VolkanCadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoplatelets (NPLs) have attracted significant attention thanks to their favorable optical properties, including narrow emission linewidths, reduced Auger recombination, and a high absorption cross section. However, the photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) in the near-infrared (NIR) region is poor as compared to that in the visible region. Doping of metal ions is proven to be a successful strategy for inducing Stokes-shifted NIR emission. Here, we report the first account of the successful doping of ytterbium (Yb) into CdSe NPLs by a modified seeded-growth method. The successful incorporation of divalent Yb ions into CdSe NPLs resulted in an additional NIR emission apart from their excitonic emission. By optimizing the dopant concentration, we observed an impressive PL QY of ∼55% for these Yb-doped NPLs. Detailed elemental and optical characterizations were conducted to understand the emerging photophysical properties of these Yb-doped NPLs. These NIR-emitting lanthanide-doped CdSe NPLs might have applications in the next-generation bioimaging, night vision, and photodetection. © 2023 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society
