    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2024) Keser, Serhat; Dogan, Ahmet; Ates, Tankut; Barzinjy, Azeez A.; Ates, Burhan; Tekin, Suat; Sandal, Suleyman
    The aim of this study is investigating the structural, thermal, spectroscopic, electronic and biocompatibility properties of the Au-based hydroxyapatites containing quercetin (Q) or gallic acid (GA) at various concentration. Different characterization techniques including; XRD analysis, FTIR and Raman spectroscopies, differential thermal analysis, SEM and EDX analysis were utilized. Cell cytotoxicity test was conducted with the cells of MG63 human bone cancer, hFOB 1.19 human osteoblast and Caco-2 human colon cancer. It has been shown that the utilized samples had no cytotoxic activity on the L-929, hFOB 1.19 and MG-63 cells. However, these samples had cytotoxic activity on Caco-2. The current study showed that the bandgap of the un-doped HAp structure was 4.976 eV. The crystallite size is also affected by Au-doping, type of the as-used biological additive and its amount. Also, the as-produced samples were thermally stable in the range from room temperature to 1000 degrees C. The particle size distributions of the samples were found at variable ranges. The molar ratios were close to the stoichiometric value of 1.667. These novel findings not only expand our appreciation for the role of dopants in materials science but also opens avenues for deliberate engineering of electronic properties for enhanced performance in various applications.

    Effects of pyrocatechol on the computational, structural, spectroscopic and thermal properties of silver-modified hydroxyapatite
    (Springer, 2025) Keser, Serhat; Yildiz, Aykut; Barzinjy, Azeez A.; Kareem, Rebaz Obaid; Mahmood, Bahroz Kareem; Agid, Riyadh Saeed; Ates, Tankut
    This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramic biomaterials doped with silver (Ag) and pyrocatechol. HAp, commonly utilized in the treatment of hard tissues including teeth and bones, was produced and analyzed to assess the structural, morphological, elemental, and thermal properties of the materials. The phase and crystal structures of the synthesized HAp biomaterials were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), revealing that the incorporation of Ag and pyrocatechol influenced the crystallinity and lattice parameters. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy verified the presence of the characteristic OH- and PO4(3)(-) groups of HAp, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) displayed consistent morphologies across all samples, free of residues or impurities. Elemental compositions were determined by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and thermal stability was assessed through differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally, computational studies using density functional theory (DFT) were conducted to further investigate the electronic and structural properties of 0.44% Ag-doped HAp. The DFT calculations revealed that Ag atoms replace calcium (Ca1 and Ca2) positions in the lattice, leading to slight distortions in the lattice structure and changes in the electronic density distribution. Minor changes were observed in the band structure and electronic properties, indicating the stability and tunability of the doped system. A small amount of beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) phase was also detected alongside the main HAp phase. These results underscore the importance of incorporating pyrocatechol and silver doping into HAp for biomedical applications. The resulting biomaterials exhibit enhanced structural, thermal, and electronic properties, with improved biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity.

    Impact of pyrocatechol on the structural, spectroscopic, thermal characteristics, and in vitro bioactivity of gadolinium-enhanced hydroxyapatites
    (Elsevier, 2025) Keser, Serhat; Demirbilek, Fatos; Barzinjy, Azeez A.; Kareem, Rebaz Obaid; Mahmood, Bahroz Kareem; Ates, Tankut; Ates, Burhan
    In this study, the effects of pyrocatechol content on the structural, thermal, spectroscopic, and biocompatibility properties of gadolinium (Gd) based hydroxyapatites (HAs) were investigated using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The results, of this study, show that the energy bandgap (Egap) of Gd-doped HAs decreases to 4.1978 eV, indicating a narrowing of the electronic energy levels compared to pure HAs. The doping of Gd3+ further enhances these effects, as confirmed by enhanced photoluminescence intensity attributed to cooperative energy transfer mechanisms between the dopants. The two most biocompatible materials in the HAs series were determined as 0.42Gd-HA (94%) and P16-0.42Gd-HA (91%). These results demonstrate that even small concentrations of dopant like Gd can meaningfully impact the material's electronic and optical properties, offering potential for its application in areas where a higher bandgap and insulating properties are essential, such as in biomedical implants, coatings, or electronic insulators.

    Impact of quercetin and gallic acid on the electronic, structural, spectroscopic, thermal properties and in vitro bioactivity of silver-modified hydroxyapatite
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Keser, Serhat; Firat, Melikehatun; Barzinjy, Azeez A.; Kareem, Rebaz Obaid; Ates, Tankut; Ates, Burhan; Tekin, Suat
    Hydroxyapatite (HAp) possesses outstanding characteristics, for instance biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, which are vital for bone reconstruction. Nevertheless, it remains passive against infectious bacteria that can cultivate in compromised bone tissue, and its usage in some individuals under care might result in some objectionable provocative responses. Gallic acid (GA) and quercetin (Que) are recognised for their explicit biological activites. Connecting these properties with silver-modified HAp is remarkably interesting. The current study examined the preparation of un-doped HAp and Ag-based samples in the presence of various extents of GA and Que using the neutralization method at room temperature. The impact of GA and Que on the electronic, structural, thermal, spectroscopic, and biocompatibility properties of HAp and Ag-modified HAp were investigated intensively. Also, mouse fibroblast (L929), human osteoblast (hFOB 1.19), human bone cancer (MG-63) and human colon cancer (Caco-2) cell lines obtained from the ATCC were used for cytotoxic and biocompatibility assays. The bandgap of the distinct regions (occupation of Ca(I) and Ca(II) sites) using DFT were 3.837 and 4.211 eV, respectively. This study showed that introducing Ag as a dopant reduced the bandgap dramatically. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the as-prepared samples possess polycrystalline structure. While, the lattice parameters and volume of the unit cell were increased after adding Ag as a dopant. However, both GA and Que containing samples, remarkably decrease these parameters. Both FTIR and Raman spectroscopy utilized to investigate the nature of bonding structure for the utilized samples. It has been shown that the addition of Ag into the HAp causes an increase in the specific heat capacity. SEM images and EDX analysis confirm the distribution of the utilized elements and the purity of the samples. Overall, the prepared Ag-HAp/GA and Ag-HAp/Que samples offered structural and chemical characteristics close to those of ordinary bone that make them a good candidate for bone tissue regeneration.

    Theoretical and experimental investigation of structural, spectroscopic, and thermal properties of Bismuth- and Gadolinium-doped hydroxyapatites
    (Elsevier, 2026) Ates, Tankut; Acar, Emine Nur; Barzinjy, Azeez A.; Koytepe, Suleyman; Keser, Serhat; Adam, Ibrahim Muhammad; Ates, Burhan
    In this study, hydroxyapatite (HAp) materials doped with bismuth (Bi) and gadolinium (Gd) were synthesized using the wet chemical precipitation method and comprehensively characterized through both theoretical and experimental approaches. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the effects of co-doping with Bi and Gd on the electronic structure, lattice parameters, and unit cell volume. Results revealed a consistent reduction in bandgap energy with increasing dopant concentration, highlighting the tunability of HAp's electronic properties for advanced functional applications. Structural analyses revealed subtle reductions in lattice constants and unit cell volume, confirming the incorporation of dopants and lattice contraction. Experimental characterizations included X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, thermal analyses (DTA/TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). XRD confirmed phase purity with minor beta-TCP formation, while FTIR and Raman spectra validated the presence of phosphate and hydroxyl groups typical of HAp. Thermal analyses indicated excellent stability up to 900 degrees C with minimal mass loss, especially in doped samples. SEM images revealed nanostructured spherical morphologies with homogenous elemental distribution, while EDX confirmed the successful integration of Bi and Gd into the HAp lattice. Biocompatibility assays using l-929 fibroblast cells showed high cell viability (>80%) for all samples, indicating excellent biocompatibility with negligible cytotoxicity. Notably, Gd-doped and co-doped samples showed improved biological responses. These findings suggest that Bi/Gd co-doped HAp materials hold strong potential for biomedical applications such as bone implants and dental restorations, where enhanced electronic, thermal, and biocompatibility properties are crucial.

    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Sahin, Binnur; Ates, Tankut; Acari, Idil Karaca; Barzinjy, Azeez A.; Ates, Burhan; Ozcan, Imren; Bulut, Niyazi
    This study presents a comprehensive exploration of the electronic properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), and praseodymium (Pr). Five distinct compositions-0.4Pr-HA, 0.4Zn-0.4Pr-HA, 0.8Zn0.4Pr-HA, 0.4Ag-0.4Pr-HA, and 0.8Zn-0.4Pr-HA were systematically investigated through Density of States (DOS) and band structure calculations. The computed band gap values, ranging from 4.4037 to 4.1554 eV, revealed a progressive decrease in band gap energy from 0.4Pr-HA to 0.8Ag-0.4Pr-HA, emphasizing the substantial impact of dopant composition on electronic properties. Additionally, the incorporation of Pr induced distinct bands and peaks in the density of states, signifying the emergence of specific energy levels associated with Pr and suggesting a clear effect on the electronic structure. Furthermore, the study explores the influences of dopant type and quantity on the electronic structure, microstructure, spectral, thermal, and in vitro cell viability properties of Pr-based HA samples. Theoretical results demonstrated a continuous decrease in the bandgap with Ag or Zn dopants, and the study observed controllable changes in LAC values based on co-dopant type and quantity. Experimental outcomes revealed significant effects on crystallinity, crystallite size, lattice parameters, and unit cell volume, confirmed through XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, and Raman analyses. These findings provide valuable visions into the tunability of the electronic properties of HA through controlled doping with Zn, Pr, and Ag. This knowledge is crucial for modifying materials with desirable electronic properties, and thus holds promise for various applications in electronic devices and biocompatible coatings.
