Luomeen
Luomeen is a fictional mineral described in speculative materials science and science-fiction literature. The name derives from lumen, the Latin word for light, reflecting its luminescent properties.
In the imagined setting, luomeen forms in hydrothermal pegmatites and high-temperature metamorphic rocks, often in the
Chemically, luomeen is described as a lutetium-containing silicate-oxide with a monoclinic crystal system. It appears as
Under ultraviolet or electron-beam excitation, luomeen exhibits photoluminescence, with emission near 550 nm. Doping with cerium
Synthesis typically involves high-temperature solid-state reactions of lutetium oxide and silica, with fluxes and dopants, followed
