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.

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.

Neutron Diffraction Texture Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape preferred orientation (SPO) is defined as the orientation of grains with anisotropic shape, whereas the lattice preferred orientation refers to the texture orientation of the crystal lattice.

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.
