Colloidal and monocrystalline Ln3+ doped apatite calcium phosphate as biocompatible fluorescent probes.
Ultrafine individualised mono crystalline Ca(10-x)(PO4)(6-x)(HPO4)x(OH)(2-x) deficient calcium hydroxyapatite nanocrystals displaying fluorescence under visible excitation are proposed for utilisation as biocompatible biological probes.
