Body text

In this solution, Zn K-edge XANES technique was applied to dentine that had been treated with zinc compound to analyze the local structure around zinc atoms in dentine. The local structure around the target atom is revealed by comparing the XANES spectrum of the sample with those spectra of reference samples. These data reveal the fact that the most of zinc atoms were attached to hydroxyapatite and not to collagen.

Technique

XANES is a unique technique to study electronic state and local structure.  The technique is applicable to crystal, amorphous, liquid contained a very small quantity of elements and provides knowledge about valence and local structure of the element.
