    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.

    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Kareem, Rebaz Obaid; Kaygili, Omer; Ates, Tankut; Bulut, Niyazi; Koytepe, Suleyman; Kurucay, Ali; Ercan, Filiz
    This study deals with the theoretical and experimental characterizations of Bi-based hydroxyapatites (HAps) codoped with Ce. Five samples of Bi-based HAp (at a constant amount of 0.125 at.%) with additions of the Ce in various amounts (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, and 0.500 at. %) were synthesized by using the wet chemical method. The prepared samples were investigated experimentally by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). All the samples were also modeled by using a density functional theory (DFT), and theoretical results were obtained. Both experimental and theoretical results showed that the lattice parameters and unit cell volume were significantly affected by Ce content. Calculated bandgap energy results of the samples gradually reduced from 4.6308 eV to 4.5299 eV. The bandgap decreased with increasing Ce content, and the densities of states (DOS) values were also affected by the amount of Ce. It was found that the sample doped with 0.500 at. % Ce showed the best biocompatibility among all the as-synthesized samples. The linear absorption coefficient increased with increasing amounts of Ce in all samples, while this parameter decreased with increasing photon energy. The density increases with the increasing Ce content ranging from 3.1615 g cm-3 to 3.1772 g cm- 3. Both crystallite size and crystallinity decreased gradually with the increasing amount of Ce. FTIR and Raman spectra confirm the formation of the HAp structure for all the samples.

    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.

    Structural, magnetic, thermal, biocompatibility, and electronic properties of lanthanum doped-magnesium hydroxyapatite
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Mahmood, Bahroz Kareem; Kareem, Rebaz Obaid; Bulut, Niyazi; Ates, Tankut; Keser, Serhat; Kaygili, Omer; Kurucay, Ali
    This study presents the preliminary experimental and theoretical results on Mg/La co-substituted in hydroxyapatite (HAp) structure. Four Mg-based HAps were synthesized with La doping by keeping the Mg concentration constant at 0.45 at.%, while the La content was varied from 0.45 to 1.80 at.% in 0.45 at.% increments by a wet chemical method. Experimentally, the major phase for all samples was HAp and the minor phase was beta-TCP. The presence of La as a dopant for the HAp structure was found to affect the lattice parameters. The values of lattice parameters and unit cell volume were observed to increase gradually. The crystallinity percentage ranged from 85 % to 89 %. Analysis using the Scherrer and Williamson-Hall approaches revealed that the crystallite size values of the samples were in the range of 22-29 nm and 23-33 nm respectively. In addition, the values of lattice stress, strain and anisotropic energy density were influenced by the concentration of La. The magnetic saturation decreased from 0.0439 to 0.0383 emu/g with an increase in the amount of La. All samples showed biocompatible properties. A slight change in morphology was also observed. The EDX results showed that the presence of La at different levels resulted in calcium deficiency. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis, carried out over a temperature range of 25-850 degrees C, showed that each sample had thermal stability, with no exothermic or endothermic peaks detected. Theoretical results derived from Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations showed that the band gap values decreased steadily from 4.578 to 4.438 eV.

    Theoretical and experimental characterization of Sn-based hydroxyapatites doped with Bi
    (Springer, 2022) Korkmaz, A. Aksogan; Ahmed, Lana Omar; Kareem, Rebaz Obaid; Kebiroglu, Hanifi; Ates, Tankut; Bulut, Niyazi; Kaygili, Omer
    This is the first report, including both theoretical and experimental results, on Bi and Sn co-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) structures. Sn content was kept at a constant amount of 0.22 at.%, and Bi content was changed from 0 to 0.44 at.% by using the steps of 0.11at.%. Theoretical results from density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed an increase in density from 3.154 g cm(-3) to 3.179 g cm(-3), as well as gradual decreases in the bandgap from 4.5993 eV to 4.4288 eV and the linear absorption coefficient. The spectroscopic data obtained from both Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the HAp structure for all the samples. The thermal behavior and morphology, as well as all X-ray diffraction (XRD) related parameters, were all considerably impacted by Bi-content. In vitro assays showed that all the samples can be accepted as the biocompatible materials.
