Abstract

We report the first observation of cyclotron resonances in alkali feldspars, using highly sensitive optical detection methods. In Na-feldspar (NaAlSi 3 O 8 ), a near isotropic effective electron mass value of m * e = 0.79m e has been determined. The significance of this measurement in terms of the optical transition energies of shallow donor centres is considered.
