Abstract
The analysis of small- and ultra-small-angle neutron scattering data for se dimentary rocks shows that the pore-rock fabric interface is a surface frac tal (D-s = 2.82) over 3 orders of magnitude of the length scale and 10 orde rs of magnitude in intensity. The fractal dimension and scatterer size obta ined from scanning electron microscopy image processing ate consistent with neutron scattering data. [S0031-9007(99)08945-0].
