Abstract
Chemical and structural evolution of hydroxyapatite thin films produced by sol-gel synthesis is characterized by ion beam analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Formation of the hydroxyapatite structure began at 500°C ; no other phases were observed at higher temperatures. Elimination of residual organics was observed in the form of the disappearance of excess oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Crystal size increases with increasing anneal temperature ; spectroscopy indicates the formation of highly crystalline films. The analytical methods chosen provide insight into subtle chemical and structural changes which occur in films produced by this synthetic route.

Pulsed laser deposition and processing of biocompatible hydroxylapatite thin films.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ca/P ratio and surface morphology of the films were related to deposition conditions, and it was shown that films that were amorphous (deposited either at room temperature or in a non-reactive gas environment) did not adhere well to the substrates.
