Identifying hydrogen and hydride phases can be difficult using traditional microanalysis methods. Because of its atomic structure, hydrogen does not release distinctive X-rays when exposed to ...

In geology, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for the observation and analysis of microstructures and for phase identification. The EBSD system, by Oxford Instruments, ...

As a surface-sensitive technique, the diffraction signal comes from the top few nanometers of the crystal lattice in EBSD. Hence, the top layer needs to be devoid of oxidation, contamination and ...

Gathering 3D material microstructural information is time-consuming, expensive, and energy-intensive. Acquisition of 3D data has been accelerated by developments in serial sectioning instrument ...

Three dimensional electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) microscopy is a critical tool in many applications in materials science, yet its data quality can fluctuate greatly during the arduous ...

Band detection, a critical aspect of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), is very important in terms of data quality. Enhancements in band detection can help in maximizing the number of properly ...

Left- or right-handedness is a symmetry property that many macroscopic objects also exhibit and which is of immense importance, particularly for the bioactivity of organic molecules. Chirality is also ...
