Advances in research in Cultural Heritage see increasing application of a multidisciplinary
approach and the combined use of physical and chemical characterization of artefacts that …

The quantitative phase analysis using the Rietveld method is one of the most used analytical
protocols for the characterization of several types of natural and synthetic materials, and it …

Non‐destructive neutron diffraction techniques were applied to determine composition and
microstructure data, and hence to derive information on manufacturing techniques of …

Neutron radiation is a highly penetrating probe, routinely used for non-destructive testing of
engineering components and for analysis of the structure and dynamics of novel advanced …

In the present work, structural imaging and non-invasive compositional analysis have been
successfully combined in order to investigate three bronze figurines from the antiquarian …

Neutron diffraction experiments have been performed on laboratory-prepared samples of
copper alloys to determine their microscopic phase characteristics. The aim of this …

Neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and FTIR were used to
examine a Corinthian-type bronze helmet which is now on display at The Manchester …

Japanese blades have always been considered very interesting objects, both from the
stylistic point of view and their peculiar performances. It is amazing how the test and try …

In the present work we report further insights on the application of time of flight ncutron
diffraction to characterise archaeological bronzcs. As development of a preliminary study, a …

Following a first demonstration on the potentials of time-of-flight neutron diffraction in the
microstructural characterisation of archaeological bronzes, we present here the results of a …
