What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...
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, ...
In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical ...
Using SLAC's instrument for ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV-UED), one of the lab's world-leading tools for ultrafast science, researchers discovered how an ultrathin material can circularly ...
Modern diffraction-based tools, from micro-focus X-ray diffraction (XRD) to electron microscopy-based techniques, enable multi-scale residual strain quantification. This study confirms that methods ...
Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...
In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...
What was found: Electron crystals in metals can deform and melt like solids, altering conductivity and opening new technological possibilities. Why it matters: Controlling these structures could ...
