Abstract
Due to the high penetration depth of thermal neutrons for most materials, neutron diffraction is an efficient tool for bulk texture analysis. The main applications are investigations of coarse‐grained materials, non‐destructive pole figure measurements of identical samples at different states, detection of weak textures, measurement of unprepared samples and texture investigations of multi‐phase systems. It should be pointed out that neutron texture analysis is suitable for basic research as well as for applications.
Highlights
Texture analysis by means of neutron diffraction is one of the standard methods in modern texture analysis
The following methods of pole figure measurements by neutrons are in operation and open for the user community
The main restriction is given by the minimum sample volume which is necessary to get a sufficient peak to background ratio
