Age and Charge Effects in Cortical Bone: Raman Study of Phosphate Ions Stretching
Volume 3
A quantitative assessment of internal electrostatic fields in bone tissue is conducted within the framework of the “bone-battery” concept. It is shown that their influence on the atomic structure and dynamics is significantly underestimated. To test this hypothesis Raman spectroscopy is applied to cortical bone of young and mature rats. Particular attention is paid to the v1(PO43-)-band at 960 cm-1 in the Raman spectra to study the interference of P..
