    Ferroelectric Based Photonic Crystal Cavity by Liquid Crystal Infiltration
    (Taylor & Francis, 2014) Karaomerlioglu, F.; Simsek S.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, Ekmel
    A novel type of two-dimensional photonic crystal is investigated for it optical properties as a core-shell-type ferroelectric nanorod infiltrated with nematic liquid crystals. Using the plane wave expansion method and finite-difference time-domain method, the photonic crystal structure, which is composed of a photonic crystal in a core-shell-type ferroelectric nanorod, is designed for the square lattice and the hexagonal lattice. It has been used 5CB as a photonic crystal core, and LiNbO3 as a ferroelectric material. The photonic crystal with a core-shell-type LiNbO3 nanorod infiltrated with nematic liquid crystals is compared with the photonic crystal with solid LiNbO3 rods and the photonic crystal with hollow LiNbO3 rods.

    Organic semiconductor-based photonic crystals for solar cell arrays: band gap and optical properties
    (Taylor & Francis, 2014) Karaomerlioglu, F.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, Ekmel
    Photonic crystals (PCs) hold great potential for designing new optical devices because of the possibility of the manipulation of light with PCs. There has been an increase in research on tuning the optical properties of PCs to design devices. We design organic semiconductor-based PC structures and calculate optical properties using the plane wave expansion method and finite-difference time-domain method in an air background for a hexagonal lattice. We showed the possibility of the solar cell arrays for a 2D PC cavity on an organic semiconductor base infiltrated with a nematic liquid crystal. E7 type has been used as a nematic liquid crystal and 4,4-Bis[4-(diphenylamino) styryl]biphenyl as an organic semiconductor material.
