Beryllium Oxide (BeO) ceramic has been widely used for numerous applications in different fields of technology such as nuclear and technological research. Special interest in BeO as a material for personal dosimetry is because of its effective atomic number (Zeff =7.13), which is close to biological tissue (Zeff =7.42). In this study, BeO nanophosphors were synthesized for dosimetric purposes, and doped with aluminum and calcium using sol-gel method. BeO:Al,Ca pellets were prepared from pressed and sintered BeO:Al,Ca nanophosphors at 1600 °C. The structural characterization analysis of BeO:Al,Ca pellets were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) methods. The results of these structure analysis showed that BeO:Al,Ca pellets were successfully produced using the sol-gel method. Luminescence properties of the ceramic pellets produced using BeO nanophosphors were investigated by TL and OSL techniques. The bright OSL signal from BeO:Al,Ca was found as a combination of three decay components using general order kinetic fitting. Decay lifetimes of these components were determined as 5.16, 37.02 and 262.84 s, respectively. Additionally, TL glow curve of BeO:Al,Ca showed three peaks approximately located at 200, 350 and 520 °C. Optically active parts of TL glow curve were determined comparing TL glow curves obtained directly and following blue led stimulation. In order to understand mechanism of luminescence, thermal stability experiment was studied, and the source of the OSL signals was found associated with both the 350 and 520 °C TL peaks. OSL signals indicated very good reusability over 10 cycles and the most deviated value from the first readout was ~ 3 %. The beta dose response was found to be nearly linear in the range 0.1-100 Gy. Furthermore, X-ray luminescence, dark fading and minimum detectable dose properties of the OSL signal were investigated. We concluded that BeO:Al,Ca pellets with the bright OSL signals and low fading characteristics are good luminescent dosimetric materials for detection radiation dose between the dose range of 0.1 Gy to 100 Gy.

Kinetic approach for the purification of nucleotides with magnetic separation Tural, Servet; Tural, Bilsen; Ece, Mehmet Sakir; Yetkin, Evren; Özkan, Necati (2014-11-01) The isolation of beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is of great importance since it is widely used in different scientific and technologic fields such as biofuel cells, sensor technology, and hydrogen production. In order to isolate beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, first 3-aminophenyboronic acid functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were prepared to serve as a magnetic solid support and subsequently they were used for reversible adsorption/desorption of beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in a...
Adsorption properties of boron nitride nanotubes Khan, Saeed Ahmad; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Balcı, Fatma Suna; Department of Chemical Engineering (2016) The developments in nanotechnology in last decades have provided use of nanoparticles for many applications in various areas such as electronics, fuel cells, composites, cosmetics, and biomedical. They have excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Nanotechnology is one of the fastest growing areas in materials and engineering science and biotechnology. Nanotubes have been one of the most regarded and studied type of nanoparticles up to now. Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are an important m...
Nitrate and Nitrite Variability at the Seafloor of an Oxygen Minimum Zone Revealed by a Novel Microfluidic In-Situ Chemical Sensor Yücel, Mustafa; DENGLER, Marcus; MOWLEM, Matthew C; SOHL, Frank; SOMMER, Stefan (2015-07-10) Microfluidics, or lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a promising technology that allows the development of miniaturized chemical sensors. In contrast to the surging interest in biomedical sciences, the utilization of LOC sensors in aquatic sciences is still in infancy but a wider use of such sensors could mitigate the undersampling problem of ocean biogeochemical processes. Here we describe the first underwater test of a novel LOC sensor to obtain in situ calibrated time-series (up to 40 h) of nitrate+nitrite (Sigma NO...
Stacking in Colloidal Nanoplatelets: Tuning Excitonic Properties Guzelturk, Burak; Erdem, Onur; Olutas, Murat; Keleştemur, Yusuf; Demir, Hilmi Volkan (2014-12-01) Colloidal semiconductor quantum wells, also commonly known as nanoplatelets (NPLs), have arisen among the most promising materials for light generation and harvesting applications. Recently, NPLs have been found to assemble in stacks. However, their emerging characteristics essential to these applications have not been previously controlled or understood. In this report, we systematically investigate and present excitonic properties of controlled column-like NPL assemblies. Here, by a controlled gradual pro...
CdZnTe BULK-CRYSTAL GROWTH AND SURFACE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY AT METU-CGL Ergunt, Yasin; Kabukçuoğlu, Merve Pinar; Balbasi, Ozden Basar; Yaşar, Bengisu; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Turan, Raşit; Parlak, Mehmet (2020-01-01) The study of Cd1-xZnxTe (Cadmium Zinc Telluride) bulk-crystal growth and surface processing technology at the Middle East Technical University (METU) began in 2012. The initial R&D efforts were started with the growing of CdZnTe ingots up to a size of 15 mm in diameter in a three-zone vertical Bridgman furnace located in a limited laboratory area of 15 m2. Following promising development in terms of single crystal yield and the crystal growth process, a new vertical gradient freeze (VGF) multi-zone furnace ...
