Abstract
Accurately indexing pseudosymmetric materials has long proven challenging for electron backscatter diffraction. The recent emergence of intensity-based indexing approaches promises an enhanced ability to resolve pseudosymmetry compared with traditional Hough-based indexing approaches. However, little work has been done to understand the effects of sample position and orientation on the ability to resolve pseudosymmetry, especially for intensity-based indexing approaches. Thus, in this work the effects of crystal orientation and detector distance in a model tetragonal ZrO2 (c/a = 1.0185) material are quantitatively investigated. The orientations that are easiest and most difficult to correctly index are identified, the effect of detector distance on indexing confidence is characterized, and these trends are analyzed on the basis of the appearance of specific zone axes in the diffraction patterns. The findings also point to the clear benefit of shorter detector distances for resolving pseudosymmetry using intensity-based indexing approaches.
