Mineralogical and Raman spectroscopy studies of natural olivines exposed to different planetary environments [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 2014 Abstract New lander missions to bodies of our solar system are coming up and thus new techniques are desirable for the in-situ investigation of planetary surface and near surface materials. During the last decade Raman spectroscopy has been developed to become an excellent laboratory tool for fast petrological and mineralogical investigation of ...
