Abstract:

The application of the electron backscatter diffraction technique to the investigation of phase transformations is reviewed. The wide variety of results obtained using this technique is illustrated and discussed, focusing on thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations, solidification, solid state phase transformations, environmentally assisted reactions and thin film deposition. Emphasis is also placed on two rapidly growing developments: coupling electron backscatter diffraction with advanced experimental techniques and with more and more complex modelling of phase transformations and of resulting material properties.
