Foreword to the special issue arising from the 9 th European Conference on Mineralogy and Spectroscopy

[摘要] Spectroscopy methods provide valuable informationabout the local structure of minerals, since they do notdepend on long-range periodicity (they are sensitive todefects or substitutions and vice versa), and, thereforerepresent great complementary techniques to diffractionmethods that are used to analyze periodic (global) structures of minerals. Spectroscopy techniques have beensuccessfully applied to the minerals during past decades,namely due to still-growing possibilities connected withthe evolution of the instrumentation and data analysis.
