Expressing Crystallographic Textures through the Orientation Distribution Function: Conversion between the Generalized Spherical Harmonic and Hyperspherical Citation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the analysis of crystallographic texture, the orientation distribution function of the grains is generally expressed as a linear combination of the generalized spherical harmonics. Recently, an alternative expansion of the orientation distribution function—as a linear combination of the hyperspherical harmonics—has been proposed, with the advantage that this is a function of the angles that directly describe the axis and angle of each grain rotation, rather than of the Euler angles. This paper provides the formulas required to convert between the generalized spherical harmonics and the hyperspherical harmonics, and between the coefficients appearing in their respective expansions of the orientation distribution function. A short discussion of the phase conventions surrounding these expansions is also presented. † corresponding author: [email protected]

The generalized Mackenzie distribution: disorientation angle distributions for arbitrary textures
A general formulation for the disorientation angle distribution function is derived. The derivation employs the hyperspherical harmonic expansion for orientation distributions, and an explicit solution is presented for materials with cubic crystal symmetry and arbitrary textures. The result provides a significant generalization to the well-known Mackenzie distribution function (Mackenzie JK. Bi...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES OF DIFFRACTION POLE FIGURES, H. Schaeben, pp. 129-134
Crystallographic diffraction pole figures are defined as hyperspherical x-ray transforms of an orientation density function. The range of this transform is characterized in terms of an ultrahyperbolic differential equation which is derived without referring to spherical harmonics. The general solution of the differential equation is given both in terms of its characteristics or spherical harmon...
متن کاملThe Generalized Spherical Radon Transform and Its Application in Texture Analysis
The generalized spherical Radon transform associates the mean values over spherical tori to a function f defined on S ⊂ H, where the elements of S are considered as quaternions representing rotations. It is introduced into the analysis of crystallographic preferred orientation and identified with the probability density function corresponding to the angle distribution function W . Eventually, t...

By revealing complex fiber structure through the orientation distribution function (ODF), q-ball imaging has recently become a popular reconstruction technique in diffusion-weighted MRI. In this paper, we propose an analytical dimension reduction approach to ODF maxima extraction. We show that by expressing the ODF, or any antipodally symmetric spherical function, in the common fourth order rea...
