Even with a rather coarse measurement grid of only 722 points per complete pole figure, satisfactory results for the recalculated (002) pole figures could be obtained. However, for a reliable calculation of a complete ODF, finer grids will have to be used. Due to the importance of a good alignment of the c-axes in the material, a quantitative analysis of the (002) pole figures, including an error estimation due to measurement grid and counting statistics, was made. An outline for the determination of a reliable background estimate is given.application/pdfenGoescholarhttps://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/license540journal_article10.1155/TSM.33.75https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/4459593714717openAccess
