Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Novel Injectable Calcium-Magnesium Phosphate Cement-Based Composites With Piezoelectric Properties: Advancements in Bone Regeneration Applications(Springer, 2024) Sakar, Neslihan; Albayrak, Aylin Ziylan; Karakaya, Merve; Adem, Umut; Tansel, TunayDesigning a novel injectable bone cement is an important approach to the success of bone healing in minimally invasive surgeries. As natural bone has a piezoelectric property, which is crucial in bone regeneration, this study focused on the development of a novel injectable composite bone cement with piezoelectric properties. For the composite composition, calcium and zirconium doped barium titanate (BCZT) was used for its piezoelectric property, while calcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate cement (CMPC) were preferred for its bone-like properties. In this framework, first BCZT, CMPC, and their composites were prepared, and their phase structures, particle size distributions, and piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated. Then, the composite bone cements were prepared by mixing CMPC with BCZT in three different ratios (20%, 30%, and 40%). Next, polysorbate 80 solution was added to the cement mixtures to prepare the injectable pastes. Finally, injectability, setting time, and compressive strength of the composites were assessed. As a result, the composite bone cement containing 30% BCZT has the potential to be used as an injectable bone cement in invasive orthopedic surgery.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Surface Roughness Estimation of Mbe Grown Cdte/Gaas(211)b by Ex-Situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry(American Institute of Physics, 2016) Karakaya, Merve; Bilgilisoy, Elif; Arı, Ozan; Selamet, YusufSpectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) ranging from 1.24 eV to 5.05 eV is used to obtain the film thickness and optical properties of high index (211) CdTe films. A three-layer optical model (oxide/CdTe/GaAs) was chosen for the ex-situ ellipsometric data analysis. Surface roughness cannot be determined by the optical model if oxide is included. We show that roughness can be accurately estimated, without any optical model, by utilizing the correlation between SE data (namely the imaginary part of the dielectric function, <ϵ2 > or phase angle, ψ) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) roughness. <ϵ2 > and ψ values at 3.31 eV, which corresponds to E1 critical transition energy of CdTe band structure, are chosen for the correlation since E1 gives higher resolution than the other critical transition energies. On the other hand, due to the anisotropic characteristic of (211) oriented CdTe surfaces, SE data (<ϵ2 > and ψ) shows varieties for different azimuthal angle measurements. For this reason, in order to estimate the surface roughness by considering these correlations, it is shown that SE measurements need to be taken at the same surface azimuthal angle. Estimating surface roughness in this manner is an accurate way to eliminate cumbersome surface roughness measurement by AFM.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Characterization of Cdte Growth on Gaas Using Different Etching Techniques(Springer Verlag, 2015) Bilgilisoy, Elif; Özden, Selin; Bakali, Emine; Karakaya, Merve; Selamet, YusufCdTe buffer layers which were grown on (211)B GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy were subjected to two different etch treatments to quantify the crystal quality and dislocation density. The optical properties and thicknesses of the samples were obtained by ex situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. The surface morphologies of the CdTe epilayers were analyzed by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Nomarski microscopy before and after chemical etching. We compare the triangle- and trapezoid-shaped etch pits due to the Everson and Nakagawa etch solutions, respectively. Measured etch pit density (EPD) values of triangle etch pits were found in the 8 × 107 cm−2 to 2 × 108 cm−2 range, and trapezoid-shaped etch pits were found in the 1 × 107 cm−2 to 7 × 107 cm−2 range for samples with thicknesses <2 μm.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Growth and Characterization of Cdte Absorbers on Gaas by Mbe for High Concentration Pv Solar Cells(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Arı, Ozan; Polat, Mustafa; Karakaya, Merve; Selamet, YusufCdTe based II-VI absorbers are promising candidates for high concentration PV solar cells with an ideal band gap for AM1.5 solar radiation. In this study, we propose single crystal CdTe absorbers grown on GaAs substrates with a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) which is a clean deposition technology. We show that high quality CdTe absorber layers can be grown with full width half maximum of X-ray diffraction rocking curves (XRD RC) as low as 227 arc-seconds with 0.5% thickness uniformity that a 2 μm layer is capable of absorbing 99% of AM1.5 solar radiation. Bandgap of the CdTe absorber is found as 1.483 eV from spetroscopic ellipsometry (SE) measurements. Also, high absorption coefficient is calculated from the results, which is ∼5 x 105cm-1 in solar radiation spectrum.
