“…Indexing a Laue diffraction pattern allows the crystallographic orientation, and in certain cases lattice elastic strains and defects of the sample, to be determined (Sheremetyev et al, 1991;Marı ´n & Die ´guez, 1999;Maaß et al, 2006;Xu et al, 2017;Deillon et al, 2019). With the development of Laue microdiffraction, which utilizes a focused beam, nondestructive 3D characterization can be achieved with submicrometre spatial resolution (Larson et al, 2002;Larson & Levine, 2013;Hofmann et al, 2012;Cornelius & Thomas, 2018;O ¨rs et al, 2018;Altinkurt et al, 2018). As a consequence, Laue microdiffraction is today a major tool for materials characterization.…”
