2-3-3 Nondestructive imaging of THF hydrate grown in iterparticle pores

Abstract

Phase-contrast X-ray imaging technique is suitable for visualizing light-element materials. In this study, diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI) technique equipped with an originally designed cryogenic cell was used for measurements of THF hydrates grown interparticle pores of silica beads with 2 μm in diameter. The DEI technique using X-ray of 35 keV enabled nondestructive observation of layer structures of THF hydrate.
