Iron, cobalt, copper and zinc decorated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were produced with using ultrasonically assisted wet chemical method. Calcium nitrate tetra hydrate and dibasic ammonium phosphate were used as calcium and phosphorous source, respectively. Calcium nitrate tetra hydrate and dibasic ammonium phosphate solutions were prepared by dissolving the salts in distilled water and at different concentrations of decorated elements (iron, cobalt, copper and zinc) were appended to the calcium nitrate tetra hydrate solution. Stoichiometric decorated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were analysed by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) with using standard method and the element analysis was determined with looking at the grain structures by Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Not only have the concentrations of decorated metals but also calcium and phosphorus ratio for artificial bone powders been determined. As a result, calcium and phosphor ratio and metal decorated contents were evaluated according to the production values and compared previous studies. The answer to the question of how much of the contribution amounts was searched. •An analytical method for metal decorated hydroxyapatite samples analysis by EDXRF and EDX is proposed.•SEM was used for characterization of the surface of metal decorated samples.
