AB  - Beta tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) is a resorbable bioceramic that has hitherto 
      been utilized in the medical field. Since it crystallizes in the anisotropic 
      hexagonal system, properties such as chemical and physical ones are expected to 
      depend on its crystal axis direction and/or on its crystal plane (anisotropy). 
      Control of crystal orientation is thus important when used in polycrystalline 
      form. Meanwhile, application of a strong magnetic field has been found to be a 
      promising technique to control crystal orientation of anisotropic shape or 
      structured crystals. In this work, we attempted to fabricate beta-TCP ceramics with 
      controlled crystal orientation by applying an external magnetic field during the 
      slip casting process and subsequently sintering them at 1050 degrees C, below the beta-alpha 
      transition temperature. Application of a vertical magnetic field increased 
      intensities of planes perpendicular to c-plane on the top surface, while a 
      horizontal one with simultaneous mechanical mold rotation decreased it. These 
      results indicated that crystal orientation of beta-TCP ceramics were successfully 
      controlled by the external magnetic field and together that the magnetic 
      susceptibility of beta-TCP is chi(c[perpendicular])>chi(c//).
