Abstract
We have explored the possibilities offered by the Environmental SEM to study minerals under a variety of conditions. Low voltage SEM can be used to study minerals without coating with gold or carbon, thereby allowing the researcher to use other analytical techniques on the same sample. Changes in pressure and temperature can be used to study mineral reactions such as wetting and drying but also the thermal behaviour such dehydration, dehydroxation or decarbonation. The general principles shown are not limited to the study of minerals but can be applied to a range of materials.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
