Abstract: As an effort to increase the knowledge about the abundance, distribution and geochemical behaviorof the rare earth elements (REEs), a simple and effective Raman spectroscopic method for detection of REEsin minerals is proposed. The proposed method based on Raman spectroscopy provides a lower detectionlimit for REEs compared to the modern analytical techniques. It could be practiced even in laboratoriesequipped only with FT-Raman instrumentation. This simple, inexpensive, rapid and straightforward Ramanmethod for REEs detection in minerals is a convenient experiment for undergraduate and postgraduatelaboratory courses.
