Calcium orthophosphates are the main mineral constituents of bones and teeth, and there is
great interest in understanding the physical mechanisms that underlie their growth …

Raman spectroscopy of natural bones and hydroxyapatites is described. In addition, how
Raman spectroscopy has proved crucial in providing baseline data for the modification of …

The structural changes that occur during the transformation of a Ca-deficient apatite,
prepared by a wet chemical method, to β-TCP were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) …

Glasses in the system xB2O3 (1− x)[yCaOP2O5],(x= 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, y= 2, 2.6, 3, 4, 5) have
been prepared by fast quenching of high temperature melts. The presence of B2O3 affected …

Synthetic nanostructured materials incorporating both organic and inorganic components
offer a unique, powerful, and versatile class of materials for widespread applications due to …

We present a comparative study of the Roman spectra of polycrystalline β-tricalcium
phosphate (β-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) over their whole optical frequency range. Due …

Stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HA) powder was synthesized by wet method using
orthophosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide, as raw materials. In this regard, the time …

Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopic features of silicate glasses are often interpreted
based on the analogy with those of smaller molecules, molecular clusters, or crystalline …

Since the 1970s, it has been shown that calcium phosphate crystals nucleate from one or
several early amorphous calcium phosphate phases into several in vivo and in vitro …

A great potential of Raman spectroscopy for non-destructive, confirmatory identification of
body fluids at the crime scene has been reported recently (Virkler and Lednev, Forensic Sci …
