Professor Hilmi Volkan Demir, director of Bilkent University UNAM and Chair of the Materials Science and Nanotechnology Graduate Program, and his research team have published a scientific article entitled “On the Rational Design of Core/(Multi)-Crown Type-II Heteronanoplatelets,” which appeared on the cover of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), a leading scientific journal.
Professor Demir’s research represents a notable breakthrough in the design of solution-processed two-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs). The study focuses on synthesizing and exploring the optical properties of CdS/CdSe1–xTex core/multi-crown hetero-NPLs. Through experiments and calculations, the research affirms the type-II electronic structure of these hetero-NPLs, emphasizing the potential for highly efficient design, especially in NPLs with a CdSe/CdSe1–xTex/CdSe/CdS core/multi-crown architectural structure. This innovative structure marks a significant stride forward in the future design of advanced NPL heterostructures, which exhibit superior brightness and external quantum efficiency compared to previous type-II NPL-based LEDs.
