====== Multigrain crystallography in the diamond anvil cell ======

Multigrain crystallography allows characterizing hundreds of crystals in a polycrystalline material. It has been adapted to diamond anvil cell experiments for the investigation of materials under high pressure and high temperature. Simulations have shown that the method allows to index up to 500 grains with a theoretical resolution of 0.02° in grain orientation (Langrand et al, 2017).

The TIMEleSS group at the Université de Lille has been involved early on with multigrain crystallography (Nisr et al, 2012). Recently, it focused on the study of transformation microstructures, which is at the foundation of the TIMEleSS project.
