Abstract
Diagnostic near-infrared spectral features have been identified for minerals with ammonium (NH4 +) bound in the crystal structure. Near-infrared detection of NH4-bearing minerals may provide useful information for prospecting for certain ore deposits and may provide a better understanding of the nitrogen cycle within geologic environments.-from Authors
