A region with an approximately common crystal orientation, separated from other such regions by grain boundaries.
A measure of crystal grain elongation. It changes directional boundary spacings and can influence anisotropic defect transport independently of average grain size.
A measure of the spatial scale of crystal grains. Its definition must be stated for elongated crystal grains; size, aspect ratio and orientation distribution have distinct physical effects.
