Analysis of Grain Shape and Orientation in BaFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$-Ferrites Using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)

The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique enables an advanced analysis of anisotropic materials like ferrites. Here, the spatially highly resolved EBSD mappings provide additional information as compared to the standard analysis techniques, which can contribute to an optimization of the growth process. Furthermore, an analysis of the grain aspect ratio is possible which provides further insight to the microstructural dependence of the magnetic properties of ferrites.
