EBSD-Based Microscopy: Resolution of Dislocation Density
Computers, Materials & Continua 2009, 14(3), 185-196. https://doi.org/10.3970/cmc.2009.014.185
Abstract
Consideration is given to the resolution of dislocation density afforded by EBSD-based scanning electron microscopy. Comparison between the conventional Hough- and the emerging high-resolution cross-correlation-based approaches is made. It is illustrated that considerable care must be exercised in selecting a step size (Burger's circuit size) for experimental measurements. Important variables affecting this selection include the dislocation density and the physical size and density of dislocation dipole and multi-pole components of the structure. It is also illustrated that simulations can be useful to the interpretation of experimental recoveries.Keywords
