Plagioclase preferred orientation by TOF neutron diffraction and SEM-EBSD
TL;DR: In this paper, the lattice preferred orientation (LPO) of an anorthosite (composed of andesine) sampled from a highly deformed anorthositic mylonite (Grenville Province, Quebec) was measured by TOF neutron diffraction and SEM-EBSD.

Structure and electrochemical properties of La2−xMgxNi7.0 (x = 0.3–0.6) hydrogen storage alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and electrochemical properties of La2−xMgxNi7.0 alloys were investigated systematically, and the experiments of potential-step and anodic polarizations showed that hydrogen diffusion in alloy bulk is more important to influence the kinetic character of alloy electrodes.
