  abstract = {{T}his article summarizes some recent results obtained on the physical properties of environmental minerals, mostly kaolinite-group minerals and {F}e- and {A}l-(hydr)oxides occurring in lateritic soils. {T}he defective structure of these minerals, including impurities, stacking faults and radiation-induced defects, is probed using infrared spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance. {R}esulting information bears on models of soil formation and transformation mechanisms of minerals in low-temperature environments. {W}e underline the increasing impact of quantum chemical modeling in this field, providing straightforward interpretations of spectroscopic signals and overcoming the limits of fingerprint approaches. {I}mportantly, the first-principles modeling of isotopic fractionation factors provides new links between mineralogical and geochemical investigations of secondary minerals.},
