Figure 3. SEM-micrograph of a large δ- Y₂Si₂O₇ growth structure framed in red and cut parallel to the a-axes of the crystals.

The micrograph is superimposed by IPF + IQ-maps of performed EBSD-scans. The colors in the maps are attributed to the inverse pole-figure and hence indicate the orientation of the respective crystals. Bottom: Wire frames of unit cells visualize orientations of the crystals at the locations marked by white crosses.
