Experimental and theoretical analysis of bismuth Co-doped erbium- based hydroxyapatites
Abstract: This study explores the impact of bismuth (Bi) and erbium (Er) co-doping on the structural, morphological, and electronic
properties of hydroxyapatites (HAp). Bi/Er co-doped HAp samples at varying concentrations were synthesized through a
wet chemical process and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy,
and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) was employed to analyze band
structure (BS), energy gap (Eg), density of states (DOS), and linear attenuation coefficient (LAC). Results revealed a sys-
tematic decrease in the energy gap from 4.0340 eV to 3.9222 eV with increasing Bi content, highlighting a reduced band
gap energy trend as the Bi and Er concentrations increase. Higher Bi concentration also influenced the DOS and BS, and
reduced crystallite size (D) across samples. Among them, the 0.26Bi-0.39Er-HAp sample exhibited the lowest crystallinity
(76.56%) and smallest crystallite size (27.84 nm). This study provides valuable insights into how co-doping affects HAp
properties, with potential implications for biomedical and environmental applications
