Stone kapton straw

Pristine

Stone kapton straw that was never used (500um scale).
Stone kapton straw that was never used (20um scale).
Stone kapton straw that was never used (5um scale).

The relative X-ray analysis of a normal area gave three peaks C, Al, and O. The magnitude of the peaks compared as C > Al > O. White spots are Ca = C = O > Al > P

Under source (irradiated)

Stone kapton straw that was irradiated (500um scale).
Stone kapton straw that was irradiated (20um scale).
Stone kapton straw that was irradiated (5um scale).

The relative X-ray analysis of a normal area gave three peaks C, Al, and O. The magnitude of the peaks compared as C > Al > O . The X-ray analysis of a dark spot gave C = 0 > Al. Also the darker the spot the more O present.


3 years under voltage (big prototype)

Stone kapton straw that was used for three years (500um scale).
Stone kapton straw that was used for three years (20um scale).
Stone kapton straw that was used for three years (5um scale).

The relative X-ray analysis of a normal area gave three peaks C, Al, and O. The magnitude of the peaks compared as C > Al > O, also the darker areas gave the same relative C > Al > O.


Lamina thin straw

Lamina-thick straw that was irradiated (20um scale).

The relative X-ray analysis of a normal area (light gray) gave three peaks C, Al, and O. The magnitude of the peaks compared as Al > C > O. The dark spots showed O > Al > C or O = Al > C . White spots are Ca = C = O > Al > P

Lamina thick straw

Lamina-thick straw that was irradiated (20um scale).

The relative X-ray analysis of a normal area gave one peak: Al. The white dots are Fe
