What is (crystalline) texture?

Mouse enamel, magnetotactic bacterium, abalone aragonite


platelets, and sponge spicule each have texture.

goniometer angles, with an equal area projection
Point intensities proportional to the density of points on the
reciprocal sphere
Basic Diraction Physics

The projection of the diraction rings onto a planar surface, with


the rotation of the sample, gives a pole gure. Each ring location
corresponds to a dierent pole gure
Studying texture at SSRL

The x-ray sources at SSRL and beamline facilities provide a suitable


laboratory for texture analysis.

Experimentation at SSRL would benet from a texture analysis


system.

Diraction geometry

{χ, θ, ∆} → {φ, ψ}
Pole gures  projections of the reciprocal sphere

From the 2D pole gures, the 3D texture orientation space must be


determined. This is a complex mathematical inversion process
similar to tomogrophy. Solutions are not unique.

What next?

Plans for further development:


Other pole gure inversion methods may be used.
A comparative study may reveal that one algorithm works
better for this data set.
