Texture Science and Technology (original) (raw)

This project is directed at advancing research and development in texture and anisotropy at Los Alamos. We are recognized as a national and international leader in texture and anisotropy research. This recognition is based on our understanding involving both quantitative texture analysis and the understanding and modeling of processes under which texture develops. In addition to these resources, we have available the full troika of texture measurement techniques, namely, x-ray, electron diffraction, and neutron diffraction. The goals of this project were (1) to increase the utilization of texture and anisotropy both within and without the Laboratory programmatic, basic, and industrial related efforts; (2) to seek to improve our texture measurement and modeling capabilities; and (3) to maintain our recognition as an international leader through basic research. These goals were accomplished through the formation of a coherent focus on texture directed through the CMS to coordinate texture efforts at the Laboratory as well as advancing the field in analysis, measurement and interpretation. The "texture focus" has essentially four functions: One, to manage the physical measurement systems; two, to coordinate human resources at the lab; three, to serve as a resource for both external and internal users; and four, to advance the field of texture analysis at all levels and keep it at the forefront.
