Figure 14
Maps of elemental distribution for the materials which have relatively low resonance absorption energies as seen in Fig. 13. The range of neutron wavelength at which the images are acquired is indicated in each image. The wide-spectrum images of the same data set are shown in Figs. 4 and 6. Images (a)–(d) are normalized by the image integrated over the [18.7 mÅ, 36.4 mÅ] range of wavelengths, where there are no resonances present. Images (e) and (f) are normalized by the white-spectrum open-beam image. Even small variations of Mn concentration (e.g. 0.5–1.7% in our samples) can be resolved, as seen in image (c) (note that the samples have the same 10 mm thickness in that orientation). |
