In biomedical applications, magnetic nanoparticles have been used as they offer attractive possibilities. First, they have controllable sizes ranging from a few nanometers up to tens of nanometers and second, the nanoparticles are magnetic and magnetic fields can penetrate into human tissue which means that they can be manipulated by an external magnetic field gradient. In this study, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles are synthesized by thermal decomposition method for their potential use in cancer diagnosis. Techniques like TEM, XRD, and FTIR were performed to control the properties of the synthesized particles whether they are suitable for certain applications. In thermal decomposition method, two different iron precursors were employed to obtain magnetite nanoparticles. In the usage of Fe(acac)₃, approximate particle sizes obtained by this method lie between 3-6 nm. When, Fe(CO)₅ was used as the iron precursor, average particles size of 6 nm were obtained. Rhenium carbonyl complex was prepared by reductive carboxylation utilizing gaseous carbon monoxide as a source of carbonyl and amino borane, BH₃NH₃ as the reducing agent. HPLC-ICP-MS was used for measuring complex formation. 95% conversion of perrhenate into the complex was seen. In this part, rhenium is selected as a surrogate of radioactive ⁹⁹mTc. ¹⁸⁸Re and ¹⁸⁶Re can also be used in radioactive therapy.

Synthesis and Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrate Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles: Toxicity Analyses on Different Cell Lines Yalcin, Serap; Khodadust, Rouhollah; Unsoy, Gozde; Garip, Immihan Ceren; Mumcuoglu, Zahide Didem; Gündüz, Ufuk (2015-01-01) In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) coated magnetic nanoparticles were prepared which are targetable to tumor cells in the presence of a magnetic field. The structural properties, functional groups, size distribution, and magnetic properties of the synthesized PHB coated magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, vibrating sample magnetometry, and thermogravimetric analysis. PHB coa...
A labview interface to integrate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulator with system control and its application to regional magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) reconstruction Topal, Tankut; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a high resolution medical imaging technique based on distinguishing tissues according to their nuclear magnetic properties. Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a conductivity imaging technique which reconstructs images of electrical properties, based on their effect on induced magnetic flux density due to externally applied current flow. Both of these techniques are of interest for novel research and development. Simulators help researchers obser...
Microstructure development in nickel zinc ferrites Okatan, Mahmut Barış; Timuçin, Muharrem; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2005) Nickel zinc ferrites (NZF) have been considered as one of the basic components in high frequency electromagnetic applications especially in the field of telecommunications. In the present study, the aim was to produce high quality nickel zinc ferrite ceramics at low soaking temperatures. For this purpose, conventional ceramic manufacturing method based on mixed oxide precursors was followed using calcium fluoride, CaF2, as sintering additive. During the sintering studies, it was noticed that both the micros...
Design and implementation of magnetic field sensors for biomedical applications / İnan, Ulaş Can; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In this work, firstly the magnetic sensor types and their feasibility for biomedical applications are investigated. Then the air-cored induction coil sensor is chosen due to its advantages. Afterwards the usage of induction coils combined with amplifiers and connection types are studied. The biomedical applications requiring the use of magnetic field sensors are introduced. One of them, Lorentz Field Electrical Impedance Tomography (LFEIT) is explained in detail and experimental work is done for this applic...
Synthesis of gold nanowires with high aspect ratio and morphological purity Dertli, Elçin; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2012) Metal nanoparticles have unique optical, electrical, catalytic and mechanical properties, which lead them to various applications in nanotechnology. In particular, noble metal nanowires are attracting growing attention due to their potential applications such as in opto-electronic devices and transparent conductive contacts (TCCs). There are two general approaches to synthesize nanowires: template-assisted and solution phase methods. However, these synthesis approaches have various disadvantages. For exampl...
