Combustion assisted (CA) CVD is one of a range of CVD methods that have been used successfully to grow diamond films on a range of substrates. Of critical interest is the role of interfacial carbides in the nucleation and adhesion of diamond at the substrate/film interface. Deposition experiments wi

β¦ Synopsis
Pulsed laser deposition was used to deposit thin films of calcium hydroxylapatite (Calo(P04)6(OH)z), or HA, on polished substrates of Ti-6A1-4V. Thin films of pure, crystalline HA, uncontaminated by other calcium phosphate phases, were deposited over a range of temperatures between 400 and 800 "C. The HA films were polycrystalline with a preferred (001) crystallographic orientation, as determined by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Adhesion of the HA films to the Ti-6A1-4V substrates was excellent when films were deposited at temperatures 5 600 "C; in a scratch test, mean pressures of ca. 10'' Nm-' produced conformational cracking in a film deposited at 600 "C, but no decohesion from the substrates.
