“…As shown previously (Barral et al, 1987;Brakman & Penning, 1988;Dö lle et al, 1977Dö lle et al, , 1978Baczmanski et al, 1993;Dö lle, 1979;Hauk, 1997;Pina et al, 1997;Van Houtte & De Buyser, 1993), the quantity that is measurable by diffraction is that which is in the direction of the z axis of an intermediate reference frame. The z axis of this intermediate coordinate system is parallel to both the direction given by the tilt and azimuth angles ( , ') in the specimen coordinate system and the direction h [normal to the diffracting lattice planes (hkl)] in the fixed crystal coordinate system.…”
