A representation of the X-ray beam pathway through three different types of samples. (a) A layer of dense material of thickness e; (b) a powder sample of thickness e with monodisperse porous grains, where ep is the equivalent thickness of the porous material and eb the equivalent thickness of the dense material obtained from the transmission coefficient T; and (c) a highly absorbing powder sample with monodisperse porous grains with significant voids in the bulk. |
