Engineering diffraction

Engineering diffraction refers to a sub-field of neutron scattering which investigates microstructural features that influence the mechanical properties of materials. These include:[1]

  1. lattice strain, a measure of distortion in crystals
  2. texture, a measure of grain orientations
  3. dislocation density, a measure of the microstructure
  4. grain morphology
