Incorporation of Mg2+, Ni2+, and SiO44− ions into hydroxyapatite (HA) structure was successfully carried out by microwave assisted wet precipitation method to furnish Ca10−x−yMgxNiy(PO4)6−z(SiO4)z(OH)2−z□z. Incorporation of silicate ions into the HA structure led to the increase in HA lattice parame...
