Crystallographic Texture and Group Representations
Man, Chi-Sing
This book starts with an introduction to quantitative texture analysis (QTA), which adopts conventions (active rotations, definition of Euler angles, Wigner D-functions) that conform to those of the present-day mathematics and physics literature. Basic concepts (e.g., orientation, orientation distribution function (ODF), orientation density function, and their relationship) are made precise through their mathematical definition. Parts II and I...
