...Patrick W. Trimby; Julie M. Cairney By changing a setup and using electron transparent samples, hundreds of laboratories worldwide have access to a characterization technique, transmission Kikuchi diffraction, that measures grain sizes and orientations in nanocrystalline materials. By changing...

..., this technique is highly suitable for providing valuable information on the nature of bonding. Pattern quality maps obtained by the Kikuchi pattern qualities show local defect density and lattice strain. Sample preparation for EBSD involves metallography of the sample to yield a highly polished Figure 1 (b...
