Nanoscale identification and characterization of the shear strength of minerals and organic matter in shale
Shales are composed of minerals and organic matter, whose individual properties are essential to determining the rock’s macroscopical deformation and strength. Scanning electron microscopy combined with electron energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) has been extensively used to evaluate composition,...
