Abstract: A modified surface layer of hydroxyapatite (HA) target was observed before and after pulsed laser deposition. Two types of HA targets were used for laser ablation. We observed that the surface morphology of the target has a very fine compacted grain structure and presents many irregularities with some microroughness and microporosity before laser ablation. The laser ablated regions can be divided into two areas: one area is porous and rough but the other is dense and smooth. The percentage of particles in the films was high for the films produced with targets that were sintered at 1200°C.
