Polycrystalline materials may either be compact such as metals, ceramics, or some polymers or they may be powder samples. In both cases preferred orientation of the crystallites must be taken into account. In compact materials, texture formation by solid state processes and the texture-property relationship are the main purposes for texture investigations. In powder diffraction, texture correction can increase the accuracy of the results. Also strongly textured samples may be used in order to seperate diffraction peaks which are coincident in random powders.
