Titanium layers doped with biogenic elements attract much attention due to their ability to enhance the biological integration of implant materials. However, the addition of biogenic elements to the coating/layer changes its composition, structure, properties, and surface morphology, which affects their application possibilities. Therefore, the research and surface characterization of such layers is needed. In the present work, the mixed titanium layers with calcium and phosphorus have been synthesized by a dual electron beam evaporation method. The effect of doping in these mixed-titanium layers on their surface morphology and mechanical properties has been investigated. Atomic force microscopy was used for morphological characterization and nanoindentation was used to measure the mechanical properties (indentation hardness and reduced modulus). The surface layers are characterized in connection by tuning the deposition conditions and increasing dopant content.
