Isomorphic Substitution in Vanadinite [Pb5(VO4)3C1] - Raman Spectroscopic Study [PDF]
The Raman and infrared spectroscopy of three vanadinite [Pb5(VO4)Cl] specimens from three localities has been studied. Single crystal Raman spectra were obtained and the spectra were found to be both orientation and temperature dependent.

Progress on the preparation of nanocrystalline apatites and surface characterization: Overview of fundamental and applied aspects [PDF]
Nanocrystalline calcium phosphate apatites constitute the main inorganic part of hard tissues, and a growing focus is devoted to prepare synthetic analogs, so-called “biomimetic”, able to precisely mimic the morphological and physico-chemical features of

Nanocrystalline apatites: From powders to biomaterials [PDF]
Non-stoichiometric nanocrystalline apatite powders are used to elaborate highly-bioactive biomaterials. Their exceptional surface reactivity arises from a structured but rather unstable hydrated layer involving ions in nonapatitic chemical environments ...

Apatite Formation on Titanium Containing Apatite
Some titanium containing apatite (TMA) ceramics prepared by wet synthesis was superior to Hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics of mechanical property and cutting performance. In this study, we investigated chemical reaction of TMA in a body environment. Each TMA or commercial Hydroxyapatite powder (HAp) was formed to circular pellets by uniaxial pressing. The

Calcium phosphate apatites offer outstanding biological adaptability that can be attributed to their specific physico-chemical and structural properties. The aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the specific characteristics of calcium phosphate apatite biominerals in vertebrate hard tissues (bone, dentine and enamel). Firstly, the structural,
