Raman semi-quantification on Mars: ExoMars RLS system as a tool to better comprehend the geological evolution of martian crust

Highlights The RLS ExoMars Simulator was used to study feldspar, pyroxene and olivine minerals. Labradorite, augite and forsterite were mixed to produce calibration curves. Through their use, Martian basaltic rocks' simulants were correctly semi-quantified. Results suggest the RLS could be used...

Sumario:Highlights The RLS ExoMars Simulator was used to study feldspar, pyroxene and olivine minerals. Labradorite, augite and forsterite were mixed to produce calibration curves. Through their use, Martian basaltic rocks' simulants were correctly semi-quantified. Results suggest the RLS could be used for the semi-quantitative study of Martian rocks. The proposed method could be used to better understand Martian crust's evolution.
