• Nanoscale imaging of shale fragments with coherent X-ray diffraction 

      Chattopadhyay, Basab; Madathiparambil, Aldritt Scaria; Mürer, Fredrik Kristoffer; Cerasi, Pierre; Chushkin, Yuriy; Zontone, Federico; Gibaud, Alain; Breiby, Dag Werner (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Despite the abundance of shales in the Earth's crust and their industrial and environmental importance, their microscale physical properties are poorly understood, owing to the presence of many structurally related mineral ...
    • Orientational mapping of minerals in Pierre shale using X-ray diffraction tensor tomography 

      Mürer, Fredrik Kristoffer; Madathiparambil, Aldritt Scaria; Tekseth, Kim Robert Bjørk; Di Michiel, Marco; Cerasi, Pierre; Chattopadhyay, Basab; Breiby, Dag Werner (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Shales have a complex mineralogy with structural features spanning several length scales, making them notoriously difficult to fully understand. Conventional attenuation-based X-ray computed tomography (CT) measures density ...
    • Quantifying the hydroxyapatite orientation near the ossification front in a piglet femoral condyle using X-ray diffraction tensor tomography 

      Mürer, Fredrik Kristoffer; Chattopadhyay, Basab; Madathiparambil, Aldritt Scaria; Tekseth, Kim Robert Bjørk; Di Michel, Marco; Liebi, Marianne; Lilledahl, Magnus Borstad; Olstad, Kristin; Breiby, Dag Werner (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      While a detailed knowledge of the hierarchical structure and morphology of the extracellular matrix is considered crucial for understanding the physiological and mechanical properties of bone and cartilage, the orientation ...
