title: Vibrational study and fluorescence bands in the FT-Raman spectra of Ca(10-x)Pb(x)(PO4)6(OH)2 compounds.
abstract: About 40 apatitic compounds, stoichiometric or not, with different substitutions like lead, sodium and cadmium were investigated using infrared, Raman and FT-Raman spectroscopies. In the Ca(10-x)Pb(x)(PO4)6(OH)2 sequence (x runs from 0 to 10), the evolution of the fluorescence bands observed by FT-Raman, only with stoichiometric entities apatites, is mainly regarded and explained. Important spectral changes concerning the OH- and the PO4(3-) entities occur when 4 < or = x < or = 7. The intensity ratio of the two components of the v1 PO4(3-) mode is shown to be a suitable method to determine the lead content. The weak OH...O hydrogen bonds involving the OH- ions, of which the disorder is discussed, are different for the lead and calcium hydroxyapatites. The evolution of the fluorescence bands, as well as the splitting of the v(OH) mode, are due to the lead distribution in the two sites, with a preference for sites II, of the hydroxyapatite structure. The effect of temperature is also reported.
