| Abstract Scope |
This work has focused on applying materials characterization at multiple length scales to heritage science artifacts. Data from imaging systems that range from 3-dimensional macroscopic scanning to conventional light and electron microscopy at small length scales has been correlated to generate datasets with greater impact and information than could be generated with one of the instruments alone. Further study and application of cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging in an SEM environment to heritage science samples will be described. Additional insight has been produced by combining the CL imaging technique with compositional analysis via the attached EDS system and an additional scanning microXRF instrument. The combination of compositional mapping, CL imaging, and EM and light-based imaging produced additional insight into the artifacts themselves and the fundamental materials properties of their constituents. Work has also been completed to predict CL behavior of candidate materials based on their basic structures. |
