X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Background:

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is crucial for crystal structure determination but requires manual input for phase identification.
Current EBSD methods are not optimized for high-throughput analysis due to reliance on human interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a general methodology for rapid and autonomous identification of crystal symmetry from EBSD patterns.
To enable automated phase identification, transforming EBSD into a high-throughput technique.

Main Methods:

Utilized a machine learning-based approach for analyzing EBSD patterns.
Developed a neural network algorithm for autonomous crystal symmetry identification.

Main Results:

The algorithm successfully identified crystal symmetry from EBSD patterns.
Evaluated algorithm performance on diffraction patterns not included in the training set.
The neural network prioritized symmetry features consistent with crystallographer analysis.

Conclusions:

The developed machine learning methodology facilitates autonomous EBSD phase identification.
This approach significantly enhances the potential of EBSD as a high-throughput characterization technique.
