Nanoscale Automated Quantitative Mineralogy: A 200-nm Quantitative Mineralogy Assessment of Fault Gouge Using Mineralogic

Effective energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDX) with a scanning electron microscope of fine-grained materials (submicrometer scale) is hampered by the interaction volume of the primary electron beam, whose diameter usually is larger than the size of the grains to be analyzed. Therefore...
