| Abstract: | The hardness of thin (1.0–4.0 μm) hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings with different structures (nanocrystalline, amorphous-crystalline, and amorphous) grown on Ti and Si by rf magnetron sputtering has been studied using nanoindentation. In all of the coatings, deformation was observed to have an elastoplastic nature. The hardness of the nanocrystalline coatings corresponds to medium hardness values of HA microcrystals. The structure of the nanocrystalline coatings has been studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy in the indent zone and away from it. Comparison of the hardness values of coatings with different structures and analysis of the intragranular structure leads us to assume a nondislocation mechanism of plastic deformation. Its nature is interpreted in terms of a cluster representation of the structure of HA and amorphous calcium phosphates and cluster-boundary sliding in the course of deformation. |
