A physicochemical process for fabricating submicrometer hollow fluorescent spheres of Tb3+-incorporated calcium phosphate

摘要

We developed a laser fabrication process of submicrometer hollow fluorescent spheres of Tb3+-incorporated calcium phosphate. Pulsed laser irradiation was applied to a dispersion of carbon-integrated hydroxyapatite nanopowders in the presence of Tb3+. Thus, Tb3+ incorporation during calcium phosphate sphere formation through laser processing was achieved.
