Powder Diffraction and Synchrotron Radiation

Evolution of the particle size distribution of tricalcium silicate during hydration by synchrotron X-ray nano-tomography

“…For high resolution X-ray imaging (2D and 3D), the high brilliance of synchrotron radiation was shown to be advantageous to study multi-hierarchical materials like cement pastes [14] in scattering experiments [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and spectroscopic investigations, both reviewed elsewhere [12,[23][24][25][26]. In Holographic X-ray Computed Tomography (HXCT), the detector is placed at 4 different distances from the sample permitting the detection of both the incident and refracted radiation (near-field inline holography).…”
