EBSDd

EBSDd is a term that refers to electron backscatter diffraction data. Electron backscatter diffraction, commonly abbreviated as EBSD, is a materials science technique used to determine the crystallographic orientation of a sample. When EBSD is performed, the instrument collects diffraction patterns as the electron beam interacts with the sample's surface. These diffraction patterns are then processed by specialized software to generate a variety of data products, which are collectively referred to as EBSDd.

Common types of EBSDd include orientation maps, which show the crystallographic orientation of each point analyzed on the sample's surface, often color-coded for easy visualization. Other forms of EBSDd include pole figures, inverse pole figures, and misorientation maps. Pole figures and inverse pole figures provide statistical information about the crystallographic texture of a material. Misorientation maps highlight the angles between adjacent crystal orientations, revealing grain boundaries and other microstructural features. The acquisition and analysis of EBSDd are crucial for understanding the microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of crystalline materials. This technique finds applications in fields such as metallurgy, geology, and semiconductor research.
