the present study investigates the crystal preferred orientation (cpo) of quartz crystals in psammitic rocks to ascertain the deformationmechanism using electron backscatter diffraction (ebsd) on quartz crystals from north of the renvyle-bofin slide (rbs) nearletterfrack in western ireland. complete crystallographic orientations were determined for several thousand individual quartz crystalsin ...

This paper presents a tutorial discussion of the principles underlying the depth-dependent Kikuchi pattern formation of backscattered electrons in the scanning electron microscope. To illustrate the connections between various electron diffraction methods, the formation of Kikuchi bands in electron backscatter diffraction in the scanning electron microscope and in transmission electron microsco...

We report the first use of direct detection for recording electron backscatter diffraction patterns. We demonstrate the following advantages of direct detection: the resolution in the patterns is such that higher order features are visible; patterns can be recorded at beam energies below those at which conventional detectors usefully operate; high precision in cross-correlation based pattern sh...

Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful technique that captures electron diffraction patterns from crystals, constituents of material. Captured patterns can then be used to determine grain morphology, crystallographic orientation and chemistry of present phases, which provide complete characterization of microstructure and strong correlation to both properties and performance of ...
