Description
Raw Electron Back-scatter Diffraction (EBSD) data collected for a set of samples from the UG2 chromitite from the Rustenberg Layered Suite, Bushveld Intrusion, South Africa. This data permits the calculation of the crystallographic orientation of individual grains.
Version
Software / Usage instructions
Collection of electron backscatter diffraction patterns was undertaken using the AZtecHKL2.2 acquisition software. EBSD maps and pole figures were constructed using the MTex MatLab toolbox. Details of the acquisition parameters are provided in the Supplementary Table file.
Pole figures are constructed using a lower hemisphere, equal-area, projection. The fabric strength and type were determined by calculating the J-index, pole figure J-indices (pfJ), and the m-index and BA-index of the orientation distribution function (ODF) using the MTex MatLab toolbox.
