Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Crystallography
  • Diffraction Physics

Background:

  • Spherical surfaces and hyperspheres are fundamental for representing orientation data in electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD).
  • Accurate representation of electron backscatter patterns (EBSPs) and pole figure texture data relies on the spherical surface S(2).
  • Unit quaternions, essential for orientation calculations, reside on the hypersphere S(3).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical significance of spheres in EBSD, including spherical Kikuchi maps (SKMs) and calibration artifacts.
  • To present novel developments in analyzing EBSPs on spherical surfaces.
  • To introduce a new spherical Hough transform for automated analysis of unknown crystallographic phases.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of EBSP techniques and spherical representations.
