Crystallographic effect of a high magnetic field on a solidified hypoeutectic Zn–Al alloy

Crystallographic features of a hypoeutectic Zn–Al alloy were significantly affected by the presence of a high magnetic field during the solidification process.

EBSDL: a computer program for determining an unknown Bravais lattice using a single electron backscatter diffraction pattern

A novel computer program, EBSDL, has been successfully developed to determine the unknown Bravais lattice of a bulk crystalline material using a single electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) pattern. Unlike the phase identification technique in conventional EBSD applications, the new technique is completely independent of chemical information.

Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the crystallography of precipitates in Mg–Sn alloys aged at high temperatures

The crystallographic orientation relationships of precipitated β-Mg₂Sn particles in Mg–9.76 wt% Sn alloy aged at 573 K for 5 h were investigated by advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Models of the interface of precipitated β-Mg₂Sn and the α-Mg matrix were constructed via high-resolution TEM and atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM.
