Tomographic mapping of the nanoscale water-filled pore structure in corroded borosilicate glass (open access)

Tomographic mapping of the nanoscale water-filled pore structure in corroded borosilicate glass

This article applies cryo-based atom probe tomography to directly reveal the water-solid interface and hydrated corrosion layers making up the nanoscale porous structure of a corroded borosilicate glass in its native aqueous environment. The analysis includes morphology and compositional mapping of the inner gel/glass interface, isolation of a tomographic sub-volume of the tortuous water-filled gel, and comparison of the gel structure with simulations.
