Item Open Access Efficient generation of emissive many-body correlations in copper-doped colloidal quantum wells(Cell Press, 2022-09-21) Yu, Junhong; Sharma, Manoj; Li, Mingjie; Liu, Baiquan; Hernández-Martínez, Pedro Ludwig; Delikanli, Savaş; Sharma, Ashma; Altintas, Yemliha; Hettiarachchi, Chathuranga; Sum, Tze Chien; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Dang, CuongColloidal quantum wells (CQWs) provide an appealing platform to achieve emissive many-body correlations for novel optoelectronic devices, given that they act as hosts for strong carrier Coulomb interactions and present suppressed Auger recombination. However, the demonstrated high-order excitonic emission in CQWs requires ultrafast pumping with high excitation levels and can only be spectrally resolved at the single-particle level under cryogenic conditions. Here, through systematic investigation using static power-dependent emission spectroscopy and transient carrier dynamics, we show that Cu-doped CdSe CQWs exhibit continuous-wave-pumped high-order excitonic emission at room temperature with a large binding energy of ∼64 meV. We attribute this unique behavior to dopant excitons in which the ultralong lifetime and the highly localized wavefunction facilitate the formation of many-body correlations. The spectrally resolved high-order excitonic emission generated at power levels compatible with solar irradiation and electrical injection might pave the way for novel solution-processed solid-state devices. © 2022 The AuthorsItem 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 Management of electroluminescence from silver-doped colloidal quantum well light-emitting diodes(Cell Press, 2022-05-18) Liu, Baiquan; Sharma, Manoj; Yu, Junhong; Wang, Lin; Shendre, Sushant; Sharma, Ashma; Izmir, Merve; Delikanlı, Savaş; Altıntaş, Yemliha; Dang, Cuong; Sun, Handong; Demir, Hilmi VolkanImpurity doping is a promising strategy to afford colloidal nanocrystals exhibiting novel optical, catalytic, and electronic characteristics. However, some significant properties of noble metal-doped nanocrystals (NMD-NCs) remain unknown. Here, we report the electroluminescence (EL) from NMD-NCs. By doping silver impurity into cadmium selenide colloidal quantum wells (CQWs), dual-emission emitters are achieved and a light-emitting diode (LED) with a luminance of 1,339 cd m−2 is reported. In addition, the proposed energy gap engineering to manage exciton recombination is a feasible scheme for tunable EL emissions (e.g., the dopant emission is tuned from 606 to 761 nm). Furthermore, an organic-inorganic hybrid white LED based on CQWs is realized, reaching a color rendering index of 82. Moreover, flexible CQW-LEDs are reported. The findings present a step to unveil the EL property of NMD-NCs, which can be extended to other noble metal impurities, and pave the pathway for NMD-NCs as a class of electronic materials for EL applications. © 2022 The Authors
