Abstract:NBCO bars were textured using zone melting method under low oxygen partial pressure. By means of electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) method, quantitative texture analysis of zone-melted NBCO samples was studied. High-quality Kikuchi patterns were obtained, allowing the automated mapping on samples. The EBSD results are presented in the form of local orientation maps, phase maps and pole figures, revealing the crystal growth characteristics of the zone melted sample and the distribution of misorientations for the NBCO phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
