Structural Characterization of Iron Meteorites through Neutron Tomography

Structural Characterization of Iron Meteorites through Neutron Tomography

In this communication, we demonstrate the use of neutron tomography for the structural characterization of iron meteorites. These materials prevalently consist of metallic iron with variable nickel content. Their study and classification is traditionally based on chemical and structural analysis. Th...
