Capabilities
Remote Training and Collaboration
- New cameras installed in both the instrument lab and sample preparation lab.
- Huskycast (Panopto) recording for both cameras and lab computer monitors.
- Zoom sharing available in both labs and computer monitors.
Instrumentation
Pole figures are the graphical output of textural measurements. Texture is often defined as preferred orientation of crystallites. These measurements involve the study of variations in intensity of a single Bragg reflection as the sample is both tilted (psi) and rotated (phi) in a specially modified diffractometer. The graphical pole figure diagram presents contours that indicate intensity levels as a function of sample orientation.
