Abstract

From pole figure data, the orientation of a crystallographic direction R in any reference direction Q in a sample can be quantitatively expressed by the average <cos2σ>, where σ is the angle between Q and R in a crystal. In general, <cos2σ> can be evaluated in terms of the experimental averages <cos2ϕhkl> whereϕhkl is the angle between Q and the normal to the (hkl) planes. The number of independent <cos2ϕhkl> measurements needed varies from one to five depending on the crystal system, hkl indices, and other factors discussed. Experimental techniques found useful for measuring <cos2φ> are described.
