Abstract
An investigation has been carried out utilizing model and experimental pole figures
made by X-ray technique in order to examine the use of the vector method as a
means of the texture analysis. The main findings are as follows:• From crystal symmetry considerations positions and magnitudes of peaks along
the ζ
angle can be predicted. There are discrepancies in these intensity peaks
and in some cases the peaks are missing altogether.• This problem was solved by the allocation of intensities such that equal
intensities are obtained at the crystallographic symmetry positions.• Even a slightly mismatched combination of the reflection and transmission pole
figures caused an increase in residual vector (R) resulting in the failure of the
analysis for the minor textural component.
