Textures in silicon. In both the Goss and cube textures the <100> direction is aligned with the rolling direction. The 011 is parallel to the sheet in the Goss texture and the 001 is parallel to the sheet in the cube texture. 

Figure 7.3 Normal direction (ND) pole figures for (a) random and (b) strongly textured sheet. Note the absence of features for the pole figure of the randomly oriented sample, while the strongly texture sample shows a concentrations of reflections along the ND as well as 90° away in the transverse (TD) and rolling (RD) as well. This alignment of the crystal orientation with the reference orientation is referred to as a cube texture.

Cerium oxide (CeO ) was deposited onto a (100) LaAlOj single-crystal substrate with a single cube texture and good in- and out-ofplane alignment. A cp scan of the (220) plane of the CeO film yielded a FWHM of 2.45 ° 0.05 ° the rocking curve of the (200) plane indicated a FWHM of 1.688° 0.006°. A layer of YSZ was then deposited by CCVD on top of this ceria layer. The majority of the YSZ deposited as one cube texture (Figure 3) with only a minor 45° film rotation (<1% intensity) present.
