Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral found in human bones and teeth. Its chemical formula is: Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. In this project hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were doped with iron or europium to give the particles magnetic or fluorescent properties, respectively. The magnetic and fluorescent responses of these particles under externally applied magnetic fields has not yet been fully characterized.
