Texture Investigations by Neutron Time-of-Flight Diffraction
TLDR
In this paper, the pole figure determination by means of TOF technique is considered and the main parameters of the Dubna texture facility are given, and further developments of the experimental technique are considered.Abstract:
For the majority of isotopes the thermal neutron absorption cross section is two or
more orders lower than that for X-rays. This makes neutron diffraction well-suited
for bulk texture investigations. Some characteristics of neutron diffraction are
discussed. The principles of neutron time-of-flight diffraction are described. The pole
figure determination by means of TOF technique is considered. The main parameters
of the present Dubna texture facility are given. Further developments of the
experimental technique are considered. The application of the TOF technique for
inverse pole figure measurement is discussed as an approach to direct observation of
the texture forming process. The magnetic moments of neutrons can be used to study
magnetic textures. Two different techniques are discussed.read more

Texture analysis with the new HIPPO TOF diffractometer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the texture of a round-robin limestone standard and extracted orientation distribution data from TOF diffraction spectra with different methods (Rietveld harmonic method, Rietvedeld direct method, automatic fitting of individual peak intensities), and the results compare favorably with results obtained on the same sample measured at other facilities.

Comparison of quartz crystallographic preferred orientations identified with optical fabric analysis, electron backscatter and neutron diffraction techniques
TL;DR: Overall, it is found that EBSD and fabric analyser techniques are best suited for studying CPO distributions at the grain scale, where individual orientations can be linked to their source grain or nearest neighbours.
