Silikonca zengin tridimit mineralinin fizikokimyasal karakterizasyonu ve lüminesans özelliklerinin belirlenmesi

Tridymite is a unique mineral found in volcanic environments that possesses the ability to withstand high temperatures. Its industrial usage remains limited, indicating untapped potential. Understanding its properties could unlock innovative applications, particularly in ceramics. Tridymite exhibits prospective usability in dosimetry applications, while the existing literature concerning tridymite in the realm of mineralogy remains highly restricted. Tridymite is also found on Mars and provides insights into the formation of celestial bodies. Advancements in this field would enhance our understanding of tridymite both on Earth and beyond. In this study, tridymite sample from Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain were analyzed by using Thermal X-ray Diffraction (T-XRD), Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (ESEM-EDS), Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA), Raman spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and luminescence techniques (Cathodoluminescence (CL), Photoluminescence (PL), Thermoluminescence (TL)). These techniques collectively enhance our understanding of tridymite mineral by revealing its crystalline structure, elemental composition, chemical composition, molecular dynamics, electronic structure, and luminescent properties.
