Abstract
A composite material includes: an apatite crystal in the form of a tube; and a functional component accommodated in the apatite crystal tube and constituted by a material having physical properties different from those of the apatite crystal. The apatite crystal may be a monocrystal given by the general formula M25(PO4)3X, where M2 denotes at least one element selected from the group consisting of divalent alkali earth metals and Eu, and X denotes at least one element or molecule selected from the group consisting of halogens and OH.
