矿物物理学研究进展简述(2000～2010)

矿物物理学是介于矿物学、固体物理和量子化学之间的交叉学科,是矿物学研究的重要内容之一.进入21世纪以来,由于微区、微束和谱学探测技术、高温高压等实验技术以及计算机计算处理能力的提高,我国的矿物物理学正处于飞速发展阶段,在矿物纳米尺度微观结构、矿物表面物理化学研究等方面取得了长足进步,尤其是在高压矿物物理研究方面更是取得较大突破.但我国矿物物理学研究也存在研究队伍萎缩、后继人才匮乏的问题.展望未来,矿物物理学研究机遇与挑战并存,如何形成矿物化学键与能量、结构与物化性质、成因特征等诸方面有机联系的、统一的矿物物理学理论,进而推动矿物物理学在地质学、地球化学以及材科学研究中的应用,是我们必须思考的问题.

An overview of new progresses in mineralogical physics

Mineral physics,an important field of mineralogy,is an interdisciplinary subject of mineralogy,solid-state physics and quantum chemistry.All subdisciplines of mineral physics have made great progresses during the last ten years in China.As techniques of spectroscopic and microscopic and mineralogical experiment techniques of high-temperature and high-pressure improving,mineral physics has made great development in the nanometer scale of mineral microstructure and mineral surface physicochemistry,especially in high pressure mineral physics.However,we are still facing problems,such as,atrophy of research team and lack of talents.In terms of the future,opportunities and challenges coexist in the progress of mineral physics.We need to develop a unified mineral physics to integrate mineral chemical bonds and energy,structure and chemical properties and mineral geneses,and to promote its application in geology,geochemical and material science.
