In a separate article, we described how one can use the neo-Eulerian orientation representations to create new 3D visualizations of the Rodrigues Fundamental Zones in homochoric, cubochoric, 3D stereographic, Euler and Rodrigues-Frank orientation representations. In the present article, we use these visualization modes to illustrate how one can represent Orientation Distribution Functions as 3D objects. …

Electron Channeling Pattern Dictionary Indexing Manuscript
One of our recent papers on dictionary indexing of electron channeling patterns (ECPs) was just accepted for publication in Microscopy & Microanalysis. The original final submitted manuscript can be found HERE. The figure below represents one of the simulated ECPs from Fig. 5 of the manuscript; it is a false color version and will be …

Software for Time Interlaced Model Based Iterative Reconstruction (TIMBIR)
Summary The time-interlaced model-based iterative reconstruction (TIMBIR) [1,2] is a method for 4D time-space reconstruction of data acquired using synchrotron X-ray computed tomography. TIMBIR is a synergistic combination of two innovations. The first innovation, interlaced view sampling, is a novel method of data acquisition which distributes the view angles more evenly in time. The second …

Study mosaic of multi-variant martensites by Laue microdiffraction
Introduction: The X-ray Laue diffraction is a general method to determine the periodicities of crystalline solids. When the ultra brilliant synchrotron X-ray source and the state-of-art X-ray optics are integrated to generate intense white-beam with submicron spatial resolution, it enables the Laue microdiffraction mode that scans and instantly collect the Laue diffraction pattern at the …

Analysis and representation of microstructure data
Recent improvements in experimental and computational techniques in material characterization have led to a vast amount of data on the microstructure and deformation of heterogeneous media. This information is traditionally arrayed in pixels, on grids. The massive extent of data in this form renders identifying key features difficult, and the cost of digital storage expensive. Our following research highlights introduce ways of efficient representation, construction, and analysis.

A new fortran-90 library for 3D rotation conversions
This page describes a fortran-90 module, rotations3D.f90, that provides functions, both in single and double precision, to convert between seven different rotation parameterizations. Fortran-90 source code implementing the 3D rotation conversion functions is available for download (zip file containing the 3Drotations module, along with an example program and associated input file). 3D rotations are frequently needed …
