Many forms of spectroscopy are integral techniques in Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry, not least because they provide short-range information that are not usually available from crystal-structure analysis and refinement, and most things in which we are interested in minerals are too complicated to yield to pair-distribution functions. Thus much of the work listed on this website involves at least one form of spectroscopy, commonly combined with crystal-structure refinement (single-crystal or Rietveld), and I have not listed those papers here; they may be found in the papers for specific mineral groups, particularly amphiboles and tourmalines.

[1] Some of the spectroscopic and scattering methods used are of interest in that they are not commonly used in Mineralogy, and I listed some such examples below.

[2] I have also listed reviews that provide background for some of the methods.
