The word luminescence was first used by a German physicist, Eilhardt Wiedemann, in 1888. He also classified luminescence into six kinds according to the method of excitation. No better basis of classification is available today. He recognized photoluminescence, thermoluminescenc…
In 1988, a Reviews in Mineralogy volume (Volume 18) was published on Spectroscopic Methods in Mineralogy and Geology by Frank Hawthorne (ed). The volume introduced the reader to a variety of spectroscopic techniques that, up to that time, were relatively unknown to most of the m…
A complement to Spectroscopic methods in mineralogy and geology, edited by Frank Hawthorne in 1988, vol. 18 of the Reviews in mineralogy series. This current work also updates many of the techniques mentioned in the original volume along with introducing new methods in spectrosc…
