Advances in EBSD sample preparation by broad ion beam milling

“…It can also produce larger (centimeter scale) pristine surfaces suitable for high resolution EBSD mapping [4]. And it prevents preparation-induced phase transformation of metastable phases, for example, austenite-tomartensite dynamic transformation in steels [5,6]. Use of a cryo stage allows BIB milling of beamsensitive materials, such as Zn or low temperature solder junctions, as shown in Figure 1.…”
