Application of cathodoluminescence to observe growth layer of carbonate

Abstract

In order to observe micro-growth layers in carbonate, we consider availability and measurement procedure of cathodoluminescence for various carbonates. Optical-CL image and SEM-CL image provide layering structures of entire area and microscale distribution of layering structures, respectively. Thus, the approach in the order of Optical-CL measurement to SEM-CL measurement is powerful means of microscale observation of carbonate.
