Luminescent Minerals

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modern Luminescence Spectroscopy of Minerals and Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Mineralogy ((MINERAL))

Abstract

The chapter mostly contains time-resolved luminescence spectra of more than 100 minerals under different laser excitations. Luminescence lines and bands are ascribed to corresponding emission centers. Besides, Raman spectra of the RRUFF database are analyzed emphasizing the luminescence features detected together with Raman signals.
