Hydroxyapatite coatings grown by pulsed laser deposition with a beam of 355 nm wavelength
نویسنده
چکیده
Calcium phosphate coatings, obtained at different deposition rates by pulsed laser deposition with a Nd:YAG laser beam of 355 nm wavelength, were studied. The deposition rate was changed from 0.043 to 1.16 Å/shot by modification of only the ablated area, maintaining the local fluence constant to perform the ablation process in similar local conditions. Characterization of the coatings was performed by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffractometry, and infrared, micro-Raman, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The coatings showed a compact surface morphology formed by glassy grains with some droplets on them. Only hydroxyapatite (HA) and alpha-tricalcium phosphate (a–TCP) peaks were found in the x-ray diffractograms. The relative content of a–TCP diminished with decreasing deposition rates, and only HA peaks were found for the lowest rate. The origin of a–TCP is discussed.

The orientation texture of pulsed laser deposited hydroxyapatite coatings was studied by X-ray diffraction techniques. Increasing the laser energy density of the KrF excimer laser used in the deposition process from 5 to 7 J/cm(2) increases the tendency for the c-axes of the hydroxyapatite grains to be aligned perpendicular to the substrate. This preferred orientation is most pronounced when th...
