semi-ceramic

Strontium substitution for lead in $\mathrm{Pb}_{(8-x)} \mathrm{Sr}_x \mathrm{Na}_2\left(\mathrm{PO}_4\right)_6$ was analyzed using XRD, SEM, and Rietveld refinement techniques. All samples were synthesized using ceramic and semi-ceramic technologies. Pure apatite was formed in the composition from $x=0.00$ up to $x=2.75$. The results indicate that the samples’ collected compositions agree with the values calculated.
