Spectroscopy, Luminescence and Radiation Centers in Minerals

The development of mineralogy, the evolutionary changes in compre­ hending the mineral substance of the earth are closely associated with the progress of research methods. Over a space of more than two and half centuries, from the goniometry of the mineral crystals to microscopic petrography and opt...
