On the minimal submodules of a module

‎For any module $M$ over a commutative ring $R$‎, ‎$Spec^{s}_{R}(M)$ (resp‎. ‎$Min_{R}(M)$)‎ is the collection of all second (resp‎. ‎minimal) submodules of $M$‎. ‎In this article we investigate‎ ‎the interplay between the topological properties of $Min_{R}(M)$ and module theoretic properties of‎ ‎$M$‎. ‎Also‎, ‎for various types of modules $M$‎, ‎we obtain some conditions under which $Min_{R}(M)$‎ ‎is homeomorphic with the maximal ideal space of some ring‎
