Abstract in brief

This text discusses improvements in Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (BCDI), focusing on how to better determine crystal orientation using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), which helps in accurately measuring strain fields within microcrystals.
The new method involves calculating the crystal orientation from EBSD Euler angles and comparing it with traditional Laue diffraction results, showing a small mismatch and demonstrating that EBSD can effectively prealign samples for BCDI measurements.
The study presents an enhanced approach for computing strain fields that accounts for dislocations, leading to more precise results, and confirms that using EBSD for sample alignment can increase the efficiency and accuracy of 3D lattice strain measurements in microcrystals.]
