Luminescent functionalized hydroxyapatite for bio-imaging

In this study, the synthesis of luminescent functionalized hydroxyapatite (HA) was investigated. Rare earth metal ions such as ytterbium (Yb3+) and erbium ions (Er3+) were doped into HA via the hydrothermal synthesis method. Fluoridated HA (FHA), achieved by exchanging hydroxyl ions in doped HA with...
