Influence of molecular water dynamics on the electrical conductivity of hydrothermally synthesized hydroxyapatite from cuttlefish bone
Abstract
. Additionally, the AC conductivity data was used to extract important charge transport metrics, such as hopping energy, density of states at the Fermi level, and hopping distance. Deeper understanding of the intricate conduction pathways in hydroxyapatite is possible through the use of complementary impedance spectroscopy and Nyquist plot investigations. The crucial importance of charge carrier interactions and polaron dynamics in the conduction mechanism of biogenic hydroxyapatite is highlighted by this thorough electrical characterization, which paves the way for its optimal utilization in electronic and medicinal applications.
