AZtecHKL Tru-I  Application Note

AZtecHKL and the Tru-I Analysis Engine

 

This application note demonstrates the power of the Tru-I solver engine to discriminate between phases with very similar lattice parameters.

 

Using the band width in the solving increases the capability of AZtecHKL to discriminate these phases. On other systems this would only be possible by combining EBSD and EDS.
