kideorientaatio
Kideorientaatio, literally “crystal orientation” in Finnish, refers to the spatial orientation of a crystal lattice relative to a fixed reference frame. It is a central concept in crystallography, materials science and geology because the arrangement of crystal directions determines many anisotropic properties of a material.
The orientation can be described by mathematical representations such as Euler angles (for example in the Bunge
Measurement techniques include Laue diffraction for single crystals, X-ray diffraction (XRD) for bulk texture, and electron
Why it matters: crystal orientation strongly influences mechanical, electrical, thermal, and diffusion properties. Processing steps such
