---|---|---|---|
5.0 mol % Ag+:HAp | 4.4 | 1.6 | |
2.5 mol % Ag+:HAp | 2.5 | 1.6 | |
1.0 mol % Ag+:HAp | 1.3 | 1.6 | |
5.0 mol % Ag+:FAp | 1.2 | 1.6 | 1.6 |
2.5 mol % Ag+:FAp | 0.6 | 1.7 | 1.7 |

The relative error of the EDS method is ranging between 10.0 and 20.0% for minor elements.28
Calculated from the equations where nAg+ = 10 × nAg+/(nCa2+ + nAg+).
Calculated from the equations where nCa2+/nP5– = (nCa2+ + nAg+)/nP5–.
Calculated from the equations where nF– = 2 × nF–/4.8%.
