Luminiscencia, minerales, espectroscopía

Resumen

La luminiscencia observada en muchos minerales proporciona información importante sobre los procesos físicos y químicos que tienen lugar tanto en materiales inorgánicos como biogénicos (silicatos, carbonatos, fosfatos, etc.). Es igualmente valiosa para la datación geológica y arqueológica, la detección de alimentos irradiados y aplicaciones retrospectivas entre otras. Los ejemplos descritos aquí resaltan las contribuciones más significativas de la carrera del Prof. Dr. Javier García Guinea, quien ha avanzado en el tema con importantes aportes a los campos de la física y la química de los minerales mediante el estudio de la emisión luminiscente de materiales naturales. Los materiales geológicos son particularmente desafiantes, ya que son altamente variables; por lo tanto, ha sido un logro comprender los procesos subyacentes, y su dedicación y experiencia han influido enormemente en los campos de la espectroscopia de luminiscencia y sus aplicaciones en geociencias, ciencia de materiales, dosimetría retrospectiva e ingeniería biomédica. Ha inspirado y guiado a muchos investigadores, y sin duda seguirá haciéndolo en su jubilación.
