What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

The UK’s first dedicated electron diffraction center is due to open in the Summer of 2023. The new facility will help UK nanoscientists to characterize the "tiniest of crystals", according to Derek ...

Last November, Quantum Design and NanoMEGAS invited industry and research professionals to learn more about the theoretical and practical applications of Precession Electron Diffraction (PED).

In recent years, the field of spintronics has garnered much press and attention thanks to its untapped potential in applications like telecommunications, data storage and information processing. 1 ...

In geology, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for the observation and analysis of microstructures and for phase identification. The EBSD system, by Oxford Instruments, ...

A new centre based jointly at the University of Southampton and the University of Warwick will draw on expertise from two world class universities and become a game changer for chemical industries, ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Although electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was first discovered by Kikuchi in 1928, its potential for microstructural characterization became fully realized only after the technique was ...
