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 was conducted within the framework of the “bone-battery” concept. The influence of these fields on atomic structure and dynamics may have been significantly underestimated. To test this hypothesis, Raman spectroscopy was applied to cortical bone samples from young and mature rats. Particular attention was given to the v1(PO43−) band at 960 cm−1 in the Raman spectra to investigate the coupling..
