“…These intra-granular spatial gradients of lattice orientation, e.g. lattice curvatures, can be measured with Electron Back-Scatterred Diffraction (EBSD) (Randle et al, 1996;Scheriau and Pippan, 2008;Beausir et al, 2009;Perrin et al, 2010). Using the relationship between lattice curvature and the GND density tensor (also called Nye tensor) given by Nye (1953) and later by Kröner (1958) or Kröner (1981), GND densities in polycrystalline metals are nowadays commonly measured using white beam micro-diffraction (Barabash et al, 2005) or using scanning electron microscopy equipped with two-or three-dimensional EBSD set up (Pantleon, 2008;Calcagnotto et al, 2010;Allain-Bonasso et al, 2012;Konijnenberg et al, 2015;Jiang et al, 2015;Wallis et al, 2016).…”
