Crystallographic Orientation and Morphology of Anionic Coordination Phosphate Crystals

The growth rate of each face was determined by the crystallographic orientations of anionic coordinations such as [PO4]3- and [CaP6O24]16- in phosphate crystals and the stability of their combining with octahedral [ClCa6]11+. According to the crystal habit of appearance for each face in phosphorite,the crystallographic orientation should be paid a great attention to the growth of phosphorite for its application on artificial joints.The Phosphorite grown in direction parallel with the c-axis will promote the recovery of bones in the human body.
