Effect of stacking faults on structural, morphological, and electrical properties of hydroxyapatite polycrystals

This article reports the defect mediated electrical properties of three hydrothermally grown pure hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystals synthesized between 120 °C and 180 °C, at a constant pH = 10 with changing morphology from nanorods to nanoflakes at higher temperatures. The analyses of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns, Field-Emission Scanning-Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), High-Resolution Transmission...
