Electron Irradiation Effect in Surface Modification of Hydroxyapatite Ceramics

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

The structure of ultrathin sections of dense submicrocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) ceramics has been studied by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results demonstrate that high-energy electron irradiation can lead to surface modification with thin CaO, α-Ca3(PO4)2, and HA nanoparticles. Two-level interference contrast and double Fourier transformation of TEM images have been shown to be effective tools for revealing and identifying nanoparticles, respectively.
