This week, we are hosting a school on "Texture Analysis with MTEX". The course will provide a brief introduction to the unique MTEX mathematical approach to analyse integral X-ray, neutron or synchrotron diffraction pole-intensity data as well as individual orientation data from electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), Ice Fabric Analyser or optical universal stage.
There will be hours of hands-on exercises with Windows/Macintosh/Linux systems applying free and open Matlab toolbox MTEX for texture analysis.
In particular, estimation of an orientation distribution function (ODF) and its properties as harmonic coefficients, volume portions, texture index, entropy, calculation of anisotropic properties, etc. from the different kinds of data and grain reconstruction from EBSD data will be included.
The school is being given by David Mainprice of Géosciences Montpellier, in France, and Helmut Schaeben of Technical University of Freiberg, in Germany.
