Texture and anisotropy of polycrystalline materials. Kiluchi diffraction patterns and orientation microscopy

Artificial Neuronal Network

A mathematical system whose design is based on statistical methods inspired by the modeling of biological circuits.

Atomic number (Z)

Number of protons in an atom.

Backscatter Kikuchi Diffraction (BKD)

Kikuchi diffraction with backscattered electrons.

Binning

Grouping of neighboring pixels to form "super pixels".

Bright field/dark field imaging

Imaging mode in which the central, non-diffracted beam is selected for imaging; in dark-field imaging, this is a diffracted beam.

CHanneling ORientation Determination (CHORD)

Determination of orientation by channeling contrast.

Charge Coupled Device (CCD)

A sensor that transforms the photons it receives into electron-hole pairs by the photoelectric effect in the semiconductor substrate,...
