Scope note:

Application of electron diffraction in the backscattering mode as used in analysis of crystallographic structure of textured materials that show a preferred orientation of crystalline components. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is based on the measurement of the diffraction pattern formed by the electrons backscattered toward a phosphor screen positioned at an angle from the sample surface. The visible lines generated by the impinging electrons are called Kikuchi bands; thus the technique is also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD).
