Distribution of local deformations in diamond crystals according to the analysis of Kikuchi lines profile intensities

The histogram method has been proposed to determine strains in diamond crystals by the analysis of reflection electron diffraction bands in Kikuchi patterns. The anisotropy has been defined of the local strain distribution on the surface of two diamond samples produced by the temperature gradient method in the Fe-Al-C system and by growing on a surface of a statically synthesized diamond single crystal (Ni-Mn-C) in the Mg-C + Bor system.
