The method was applied to several sediment samples from the Scheldt estuary and the particulate phase was further examined by Scanning Electron Microprobe and X-ray Diffraction techniques.
The cross-sections of the LLDPE film samples are grafted completely through before the final degree of grafting is reached, as analysed by scanning electron microscopy and scanning electron microprobe quantometry.
We confirmed that the quenched glass was chemically homogeneous from SEM-EDS (scanning electron microprobe analyzer (JSR1000, JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) with energy dispersive spectrometer (Oxford Instruments, Oxfordshire, UK)) observations.
A characterization based on X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, electron microprobe, and scanning electron microscopy is presented.
In this study, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy (including both XANES and EXAFS regimes) were employed to determine the mineralogical composition and local coordination environment of As in gold ores and process tailings from bench-scale tests designed to mimic a common plant practice.
Scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis and mass spectrometry analysis were used in these investigations.
The ZrB2 powder was prepared by a spray drying technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and laser granulometry.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to determine the microstructure and phase composition of the cladding layers and interfaces.
We present chemical (scanning electron microscopy and electron microprobe) and structural (electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy) characterization of the recovered phases and discuss the implications of this shock synthesis for the stability of quasicrystals during high-pressure shocks and for the interpretation of the phase assemblage found in Khatyrka.
The leached samples were then characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron microprobe analysis (EMA) and ion beam analytical (IBA) methods: Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and elastic recoil detection analysis (RBS and ERDA), proton-induced X-ray or gamma ray emission (PIXE and PIGE).
