Abstract: X-ray microtomography has been proven to be an excellent tool for analyzing the inner structure of magnetic hybrid materials. Using sophisticated methods of digital processing, it has become possible to track changes in the microstructure over numerous steps of changing external stimuli. By combining microstructural investigations with macroscopic characterization of the materials, one can correlate microstructural changes and macroscopic behavior using single descriptors.
In the talk, the techniques and image processing methods will be discussed, along with the experimental procedures used to correlate microstructural aspects with macroscopic behavior. In an outlook, methods to experimentally evaluate the dynamics of structure formation will be outlined.
