Electron backscatter diffraction is a very powerful and relatively new materials characterization technique aimed at the determination of crystallographic texture, grain boundary character distributions, lattice strain, phase identification, and much more. The purpose of this book is to provide the fundamental basis for electron backscatter diffraction in materials science, the current state of both hardware and software, and illustrative examples of the applications of electron backscatter diffraction to a wide-range of materials including undeformed and deformed metals and alloys, ceramics, and superconductors. The text has been substantially revised from the first edition, and the authors have kept the format as close as possible to the first edition text. The new developments covered in this book include a more comphrensive coverage of the fundamentals not covered in the first edition or other books in the field, the advances in hardware and software since the first edition was published, and current examples of application of electron backscatter diffraction to solve challenging problems in materials science and condensed-matter physics.

The narrative follows Ganga, a young software engineer, as he embarks on transformative onsite opportunities that expose him to diverse cultures and experiences. Through vivid settings and relatable characters, the author illustrates the cultural shift in India alongside the burgeoning software industry. Ganga's travels become a journey of self-discovery, where he navigates the complexities of global interactions and personal challenges. His adventures offer insights into the moral values of different societies, shaping his worldview and survival skills in a fast-paced environment.

Set against the backdrop of college life, the story follows Mihir, Uday, and Sandeep as they navigate the challenges of preparing for the Indian Civil Services exam. Through Mihir's introspective narration, the novel delves into themes of friendship, romance, and the struggle to balance personal desires with societal expectations. As the boys confront the complexities of growing up, they must learn to manage their ambitions while staying true to their values in a transformative period of their lives.

Focusing on the solar atmosphere, this book offers an in-depth observational study of dynamic phenomena through both space-borne and ground-based multiwavelength observations. It explores novel findings on MHD wave harmonics within various magnetic flux-tubes, diagnosing localized plasma conditions. Additionally, the text examines an M-class flare and its related dynamical plasma processes, providing insights into the complexities of solar activity and the implications for understanding solar dynamics through MHD seismology.
