Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Analysis is a characterization technique used to determine the crystalline structure and crystallographic orientation of a material. It produces a result called Kikuchi Patterns or Electron Backscatter Patterns (EBSP) to see its structure.
EBSD provides comprehensive quantitative microstructural information about the crystallographic nature of metals, minerals, semiconductors, and ceramics. It allows for the detailed analysis of grain size, grain boundary character, grain orientation, texture, and phase identity of the sample under the electron beam. This technique is essential for understanding material properties and behavior, making it invaluable in research and industrial applications.
