Overview
This volume provides an exposition of all aspects of electron optics techniques and applies them to the study of grain boundaries in metals and alloys. It outlines the theoretical framework used to describe grain boundary geometry. Each step of data collection, processing, analysis and representation is then described in detail, with examples, together with the advantages and drawbacks of the options available. All topics are then brought together by means of a summary of actual investigations of grain boundary geometry. A rationale and methodology for handling grain boundary geometry data on a large, statistically significant scale is provided. Also of special interest is the use of Rodrigues space in the display of misorientations.

Comments from the reviewers on the need for the book.... ... deals with the technical difficulty of describing grain boundary geometry as well as methods of measuring it in considerable detail....very readable. Complements the Clarebrough and Forwood book very well (Professor B Cantor, Series Editor). ... could not have been prepared at a more appropriate time....will definitely serve as a major contributor to the industrial implementation of interface engineering by serving as a training text for undergraduate and graduate students and as an extremely useful reference text for industry-based scientists and engineers (Dr G Palumbo, Research Division, Ontario Hydro). The huge Table 7.1 which sets out this information in a systematic way would alone almost justify purchase of this book! ... a most useful practical textbook R W Cahn, (University of Cambridge), Contemporary Physics, p.306-307, Volume 35, Number 4, 1994 s from the reviewers on the need for the book.... ... deals with the technical difficulty of describing grain boundary geometry as well as methods of measuring it in considerable detail....very readable.
