X-ray microtomography of materials
Abstract
X-ray microtomography allows imaging of the interior microstructure of materials non- destructively and with spatial resolution which can approach that of optical microscopy (typically, no better than 1 μm in samples whose cross-sectional diameter is on the order of 1 mm, and 10 &µm for 10 mm specimens). First, X-ray microtomography's origin in medical imaging and the physics behind computed tomography are reviewed. Summaries of apparatus, radiation sources, data collection schemes, and of materials applications follow. To date, most materials applications fall into one of four areas: inorganic matrix composites, transport in porous media, calcified tissue, and fatigue crack closure. Details of studies in each area highlight the advantages X-ray microtomography brings, and the final section focuses on future directions suggested by recent work using imaging modalities other than X-ray attenuation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
