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.

The fidelity – that is, the error, precision and accuracy – of the crystallographic orientations and disorientations obtained by the classical two-dimensional Hough-transform-based analysis of electron backscatter diffraction patterns (EBSPs) is studied. Using EBSPs simulated based on the dynamical electron diffraction theory, the fidelity analysis that has been previously performed using the patterns simulated based on the theory of kinematic electron diffraction is improved. Using the same patterns, the efficacy of a Fisher-distribution-based analytical accuracy measure for orientation and disorientation is verified.

There is a growing interest in ab initio indexing of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) patterns. The methods of solving the problem are presented as innovative. The purpose of this note is to point out that ab initio EBSD indexing belongs to the field of indexing single-crystal diffraction data, and it is solved on the same principles as indexing of patterns of other types. It is shown that reasonably accurate EBSD-based data can be indexed by programs designed for X-ray data.
