EBSD in the Earth Sciences: Applications, Common Practice, and Challenges

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Electron Backscatter Diffraction in Materials Science

In the Earth’s middle and lower crust and mantle, rocks deform by creep, and it has long been recognized that lattice preferred orientations (LPO) of the mineral constituents in deformed rocks yield useful information on creep deformation mechanisms, conditions, and kinematics (Leiss et al. 2000; Turner and Weiss 1963; Wenk and Christie 1991). Bulk LPO data are traditionally measured by X-ray texture goniometry, and more recently using neutron and synchrotron sources (Leiss et al. 2000).

Notes

  1. 1.

    In geology the term texture is most commonly used to refer to the microstructure of a rock. Lattice preferred orientations (LPO) or crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) are the terms most commonly applied by geologists to mean the same as the term texture used by metallurgists.

  2. 2.
