Welcome to the second special section of Microscopy and Microanalysis focused on electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), which follows the June 2011 issue. The content of the previous special section was provided by participants at EBSD 2010, the second Microanalysis Society (MAS) topical conference dedicated to EBSD in the United States. The present 2013 special section includes work from participants at both EBSD 2012, the third of such topical conferences (held June 19–21, 2012 at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA), and EMAS 2012, the European Microanalysis Society's 10th Regional Workshop that included three EBSD sessions (held June 17–20 at the Institute for Geosciences and Earth Resources, Padua, Italy).

The articles in this special section of Microscopy and Microanalysis represent the highlights of works presented at two meetings focused on Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), which took place at the same time on either side of the Atlantic—namely, the 10th EMAS Regional Workshop, which took place in Padua, Italy on June 17–20, 2012, and the EBSD–MAS Meeting, which took place in Pittsburgh, PA, USA on June 19–21, 2012.

Abstract The self-accommodated non-modulated martensite of Ni-Mn-Ga single crystal was studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy in the latter case using the electron backscatter diffraction technique. Three kinds of interfaces existing at different length scales were reported. The first, is the wavy and incoherent interface separating martensite variants observed on the micro-level with no-common crystallographic plane between them. The second is within a single martensite plate where the lattice rotates around one of the {110} pole to accommodate the interfacial curvature between martensite plates. Finally, at the nanoscale the third interface exists, a twin boundary separating internal nanotwins with the {112} type habit plane.

India is currently the third-largest global consumer of petroleum products after the United States and China. The country produces approximately 720,000 barrels of crude oil and 3.16 billion ft3 of gas per day and imports more than 80% of its oil and 50% of its gas needs. This large discrepancy between domestic supply and consumption has been rising rapidly of late. With an economy growing at 6%–8% per year, India's energy demand growth over the next couple of decades is forecast to be among the highest in the world. To mitigate the heavy dependence on imported energy, India has stepped up efforts in recent years to increase domestic production of oil and gas.

Abstract In this paper the new Vion™ Plasma-FIB system, developed by FEI, is evaluated for cross sectioning of Cu filled Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate and optimise different Plasma-FIB (P-FIB) milling strategies in terms of performance and cross section surface quality. The sufficient preservation of microstructures within cross sections is crucial for subsequent Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) grain structure analyses and a high resolution interface characterisation by TEM.

Education has been considered as an indispensable asset of every individual, community and nation today. Indias higher education system is the third largest in the world, after China and the United States (World Bank). Tamil Nadu occupies the first place in terms of possession of higher educational institutions in the private sector in the country with over 46 percent(27) universities, 94 percent(464) professional colleges and 65 percent(383) arts and science colleges(2011). Studies to understand the profile of the entrepreneurs providing higher education either in India or Tamil Nadu were hardly available. This paper attempts to map the demographic profile of the entrepreneurs providing higher education in Arts and Science colleges in Tamil Nadu through an empirical analysis, carried out among 25 entrepreneurs spread across the state. This paper presents a summary of major inferences of the analysis.
