Ei. Suvorova et Hel. Madsen, Observation by HRTEM the hydroxyapatite-octacalcium phosphate interface incrystals grown from aqueous solutions, J CRYST GR, 199, 1999, pp. 677-681
The hydroxyapatite-octacalcium phosphate interface was observed by high-res
olution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) in crystals grown from aqu
eous solutions under microgravity and terrestrial conditions. The Digital-M
icrograph software was used in order to perform phase analysis in nanoscale
from experimental HRTEM images. The difference between space- and earth-gr
own octacalcium phosphate crystals is in amounts and sizes of the hydroxyap
atite regions included in the crystals. Possible orientation relationships
between two phases were determined. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
