Most industrial alloys contain a matrix phase and dispersed second-phase particles. Several
thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually needed to produce a final product …

Electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) has made an impressive impact on the
characterization of materials by directly linking microstructure and crystallographic texture to …

Charge transport in nanoparticle-based materials underlies many emerging energy-
conversion technologies, yet assessing the impact of nanometre-scale structure on charge …

Grain boundary segregation leads to nanoscale chemical variations that can alter a
material's performance by orders of magnitude (eg, embrittlement). To understand this …

In this study, the new technique of transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) in the scanning
electron microscope (SEM) has been applied for the first time to enable orientation map** …

Many physical and mechanical properties of crystalline materials depend strongly on their
internal structure, which is typically organized into grains and domains on several length …

Coherent twin boundaries (CTBs) are widely described, both theoretically and
experimentally, as perfect interfaces that play a significant role in a variety of materials …

Transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD), also known as transmission electron backscatter
diffraction (t-EBSD), has received significant interest for the characterisation of …

In polycrystalline metals, plastic deformation is accompanied by lattice rotations resulting
from dislocation glide. Following these rotations in three dimensions requires nondestructive …

In the 20 years since precession electron diffraction (PED) was introduced, it has grown from
a little-known niche technique to one that is seen as a cornerstone of electron …
