Visualization of elemental distributions and local analysis of element-specific chemical states of an Arachnoidiscus sp. frustule using soft X-ray spectromicroscopy.

Visualization of elemental distributions and local analysis of element-specific chemical states of an Arachnoidiscus sp. frustule using soft X-ray spectromicroscopy.

Using soft X-ray (SX) spectromicroscopy, we show maps of the spatial distribution of constituent elements and local analysis of the density of states (DOS) related to the element-specific chemical states of diatom frustules, which are composed of naturally grown nanostructured hydrogenated amorphous...
