Abstract
This invited contribution reviews applications of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to study the microstructure of sedimentary and igneous rocks in the last two decades. It is demonstrated how SANS can be used to explore the microstructure of rocks and help gain insights into internal specific surface area, porosity, pore size distribution, mercury intrusion porosimetry, compaction, subsurface generation of oil and gas, adsorption of gases, imbibition of water, distribution of crystalline precipitates and the microstructural effects of heat treatment. The article is intended to provide both a comprehensive introduction for newcomers to the subject and a reference text for those already familiar with small angle scattering techniques. Individual sections are self-contained and can be read in isolation.The article includes a review of theoretical results, worked examples, description of experimental procedures, examples of interpreted data for various types of rocks and references to original work.
