Vibrational spectroscopic study of muscovite and biotite layered phyllosilicates

Abstract

In the present paper, the muscovite and biotite phyllosilicates minerals from the Nilore mica belt, India, have been studied using a combination of different techniques. Vibrational spectroscopy enables an assessment of the molecular structure of muscovite and biotite silicates and helps to understand their complex structures which will be useful for various scientific and industrial applications. The present results have been well compared with the published data for the correspondent minerals of different origins.
