Tantalum-doped hydroxyapatite (Ta-doped HA) nanopowders with different Ta contents were synthesized by a wet-chemical precipitation route. The structure modification and charge compensation mechanism were investigated by various characterization techniques. Due to the smaller size of tantalum ions c...
