Abstract
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is being investigated as an alternative technique to prepare hydroxyapatite coatings. In this research we studied the microstructure and phase composition of the PLD hydroxyapatite films. The surface morphology of the films is composed of droplets for which size ranges from hundreds of nanometers to a few micrometers. The cross-sectional morphology of the films shows that the films adhere to the substrate well and there are no microcracks, pores and other defects between substrate and films. The X-ray diffractometer results show that the deposited films are amorphous and the post heat treatment films consists of crystalline HA and TiO 2.
