Terrestrial and space-grown HAP and OCP crystals: effect of growth conditions on perfection and morphology
{{output}}
This paper reports comparative characterizations of calcium phosphate crystals grown on earth and in space. At the CaCl2 and KH2PO4 + K2HPO4 solution concentrations and the pH used, only hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals grow under terrestrial condition while both... ...
