119th iCeMS Seminar: Prof. Giuseppe Pezzotti

Raman and luminescence spectroscopies represent insightful characterization tools in the biomedical field, providing an invaluable tool for unfolding basic mechanisms taking place at the molecular scale. However, the physics underlying Raman and luminescence effects at the molecular scale represents an issue of deep complexity. In this presentation, some salient aspects of the physics governing Raman and luminescence emissions from biomaterials are revisited. Systematic characterizations of both natural and synthetic biomaterials in the context of their functions in biodevices are presented as applications of the developed equations. Emphasis is placed on bone, teeth, cartilage, and synthetic materials for joint devices.
