Raman Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction: Phase Identification of Gem Minerals and Other Species
Raman spectroscopy and XRD techniques are used to identify gemstone species through their atomic-scale structures, with Raman spectroscopy analyzing inelastic light scattering from crystal lattice vibrations and XRD examining X-ray interference patterns from atomic layers.
