Request a sales quoteSmall Angle X-Ray and Neutron Scattering with Applications to Geomaterials provides techniques for the analysis of geomaterials, which is of great significance for humans because geomaterials are related to earthquake, resource development, underground spaces, carbon dioxide storage, and more. The book introduces the fundamental theory of small angle X-ray and neutron scattering and covers pore accessibility characterization for natural rocks from four aspects, including quantitative evaluation of pore structure heterogeneity and anisotropy, quantification of pore modification in coals due to pulverization, estimation and modeling of coal pore accessibility, and nanoscale coal deformation and alteration of porosity and pore orientation under uniaxial compression.
Finally, interactions between pore structures and fluid behaviors in geomaterials are introduced, along with the connections between small-angle scattering and other techniques (NMR cytophotometry, Transmission Electron Microscopy and synchrotron radiation SAXS and nano-CT) described.
- Covers both theory and applications of small angle X-ray and neutron scattering as related to geomaterials
- Provides context for using the techniques described in the book in connection with other well-known techniques
- Includes analysis methods of interactions between pore structures and fluid behaviors in geomaterials
Graduate students and researchers related to conventional and unconventional oil and gas exploration Secondary readers work in carbon sequestration industries and academic departments
