Über dieses Buch

The book is devoted to three types of laser-based spectroscopy of minerals, namely Laser-Induced Time-Resolved Luminescence, Laser-Induced Breakdown spectroscopy and Gated Raman Spectroscopy. This new edition presents the main new data, which have been received after the publication of the first edition ten years ago both by the authors and by other researchers. During this time, only the authors published more than 50 original papers devoted to laser-based spectroscopy of minerals. A lot of new data have been accumulated, both in fundamental and applied aspects, which are presented in new edition.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
The chapter presents the short history of luminescence of minerals starting from visual observation, followed by steady-state luminescence spectroscopy and contemporary stage of time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 2. Theoretical Background
Abstract
The chapter contains short theoretical description of luminescence phenomena, such as atomic orbitals, point group symmetry, absorption of the excitation energy and radiative transition to the ground state.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 3. Experimental Techniques
Abstract
The chapter contains the short description of the experimental setup, specifically laser excitation sources, monochromators, and ICCD spectrometers.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 4. Luminescent Minerals
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.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 5. Interpretation of Luminescence Centers
Abstract
The chapter contains experimental data and theoretical considerations enabling to interpret the luminescence centers in the studied minerals.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 6. Complementary Laser Based Spectroscopies
Abstract
The chapter describes two laser-based techniques, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman spectroscopy, which are complimentary with laser-induced luminescence. The aspects mostly relevant to minerals research are presented.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 7. Laser Based Spectroscopies for Minerals Prospecting
Abstract
This chapter consists in the presentation of laser-based spectroscopies dedicated to ore prospection. Among them is presented remote laser-induced photoluminescence of minerals, breakdown spectroscopy for environmental application and for planet exploration as well the combination of those technics (LIBS and Raman, Raman and time-resolved luminescence). Examples are shown concerning homeland security.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 8. Minerals Radiometric Sorting and Online Process Control
Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to minerals sorting and online process control based on luminescence and LIBS sorting compared to X ray fluorescence XRF, neutron activation PGNAA. Examples are presented among various minerals, ores, cements and concrete.
Michael Gaft, Renata Reisfeld, Gerard Panczer
Chapter 9. Different Applications
Abstract
In this chapter, are presented various examples of laser-based spectroscopies of specific materials. Among them, useful data (luminescence, Raman, LIBS) of gemstones are provided; some results on nuclear waste storage geomaterial studies are given as well as on biomaterials or inorganic matrixes for white LED.
