Abstract

Time-resolved luminescence and FTIR absorption spectra of undoped and Eu and Ce doped hydroxyapatite nanocrystalline powders prepared by sol-gel method were studied. The luminescence band at 350–400 nm was detected and two decay times (11 ns and 38 ns) was determinated for Ce doped samples. The luminescence spectra and decay kinetics were analized for Eu doped nanopowders. The Eu3+ ion was incorporated in different Ca sites. The process of energy transfer to Eu3+ excited state (5D0) was detected from luminescence decay kinetics.
