The process can also be performed with a custom-oriented seed crystal to achieve a specific desired crystallographic orientation.

It may also be useful to select two crystals at a time, in order to examine the crystallographic orientation between them.

The highest efficiency devices show a high degree of texturing, or preferred crystallographic orientation.

Such an approach is often used with very specific crystallographic orientations in the raw silicon to produce V-shaped grooves.

Misorientation is the difference in crystallographic orientation between two crystallites in a polycrystalline material.

Some single crystal materials, such as silicon, will have different etching rates depending on the crystallographic orientation of the substrate.

Because grains usually have varying crystallographic orientations, grain boundaries arise.

In materials science, texture is the distribution of crystallographic orientations of a polycrystalline sample.

If the crystallographic orientations are not random, but have some preferred orientation, then the sample has a weak, moderate or strong texture.

"Texture" in the context of Materials Science means "crystallographic preferred orientation".
