Guide to Electron Back Scatter Diffraction

Electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) emerged as a technique in the 1970s & has seen major advances in the past 5 years, with rapidly increasing numbers of EBSD systems & users in physics, materials & earth science laboratories. EBSD is an immensely powerful method of characterizing microstructure. The technique is used in many scanning electron microscopes to examine the structure, pattern & orientation of samples & is an important tool in many materials science & other laboratories. Specific coverage includes: Theory of EBSD; Pattern formation; Recording EBSD patterns; Calibration; Orientation measurement. Electron Back Scatter Diffraction is essential reading for graduates & researchers requiring an up-to-date & comprehensive introduction to this rapidly growing field.Wilkinson, Angus J. is the author of 'Guide to Electron Back Scatter Diffraction', published 2000 under ISBN 9780387916217 and ISBN 0387916210.
