Abstract
RAPIDviewer is a newly developed ImageJ macro script that addresses the limitations of the indexing program RAPID (which enables the indexing of zone-axis electron diffraction patterns from cubic materials) by generating graphical overlays on the experimental patterns, including configurable spot and Kikuchi line drawings. Additional features include orientation sketches, inverse-pole-figure markers and an option for VESTA file export. Examples utilizing selected-area electron diffraction patterns from an austenitic steel, an M23C6 precipitate and an aluminium alloy illustrate the features of the program.
期刊介绍:
Many research topics in condensed matter research, materials science and the life sciences make use of crystallographic methods to study crystalline and non-crystalline matter with neutrons, X-rays and electrons. Articles published in the Journal of Applied Crystallography focus on these methods and their use in identifying structural and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, structure-property relationships, structural changes of defects, interfaces and surfaces, etc. Developments of instrumentation and crystallographic apparatus, theory and interpretation, numerical analysis and other related subjects are also covered. The journal is the primary place where crystallographic computer program information is published.
