Popis: The nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite was synthesized from Labeo Rohita fish scales by calcination of raw scales at temperatures ranges from 400 to 1000 °C. The synthesized powders were characterized using, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyzer (TG–DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, respectively. Crystallite size, crystallinity and lattice parameters of HAp were evaluated from XRD, and it is shown that the average crystallite sizes were significantly enhanced with the calcination temperature attending its maximum value at ~ 40 nm. TG–DTA analysis predicts the thermal stability of the samples, and it has been observed that the thermal stability increases with the calcination temperature. Moreover, a detailed photoluminescence study of the as-synthesized samples has been carried out for the first time and an appropriate excitation energy gives rise to several distinct peaks in the emission spectra which has not been reported previously.
