Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron Microscopy with Electron Back Scatter Diffraction for Texture, Formability and Fatigue Studies of Advanced Materials; Final rept. 1 May 2005-28 Feb 2007

摘要

An advanced field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEGSEM Hitachi S-4300) equipped with energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS PGT Spirit, presently a part of Bruker) and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD HKL Channel 5, presently a part of Oxford Instruments) was acquired by the support jointly from AFOSR ($250,000) through a DURIP program and the University of Kentucky ($161,365). The FEGSEM-EDS-EBSD system was installed in July 2006 and has been used in one DoD-funded project and two other research projects that are of interest to the Department of Defense, and in materials education at the University of Kentucky.
