ABSTRACT
This appendix comprises Kikuchi maps for fcc, bcc, and hexagonal crystal structures, which can be used to aid manual indexing or check automatic indexing of Kikuchi patterns (Section 6.3). The maps are constructed from the most prominent re ectors usually visible in EBSD patterns of reasonable quality. Note, however, that SAC and TEM Kikuchi patterns usually contain higher-index re ectors as well (Sections 6.2 and 6.3). Figure VII.1a shows the Kikuchi map for fcc crystal structures, constructed from the four most prominent re ectors {111}, {200}, {220}, and {311}. The map covers one stereographic unit triangle ([001]–[011]–[111]), which approximately corresponds to the capture angle in standard EBSD applications. The corresponding Kikuchi map for bcc crystal structures-constructed from the re ectors {110}, {200} {211}, and {310}—is shown in Figure VII.1b.
