Description
Diffraction and imaging using X-rays and neutrons are widely utilized in different fields of engineering, biology, chemistry, and/or materials science. The additional information gained from the diffraction signal by X-ray diffraction and computed tomography (XRD-CT) can give this method a distinct advantage in materials science applications compared to classical tomography. Its active development over the last decade revealed structural details in a non-destructive way with unprecedented sensitivity. The current contribution reports an attempt to adopt the well-established XRD-CT technique for neutron diffraction computed tomography (ND-CT). The feasibility of ND-CT is demonstrated, and it is also shown that the ND-CT technique can provide a non-destructive view into the interior of a specially designed "phantom" sample, as well as the commercial Li-ion batteries, delivering structural information consistent with the reference XRD-CT experiments.
