Texture means the orientation distribution of the many crystallites in a polycrystalline sample with respect to a reference system on the sample, for example the rolling direction in steel. Texture has to be distinguished from preferred orientation observed in laboratory-made powder samples. Preferred orientation is just a nuissance in the experiment and must be corrected in the ensuing analysis, for example by the formula given by March and published by Dollase Preferred orientation we find commonly in samples containing plate-like crystal flakes. This is again to be distinguished from a non-random particle distribution in the powder samples prepared for diffraction experiments. This effect is always present, also for example in NBS silicon, even if only to a. very small degree (see for example Will et. al). It must and can easily be corrected for in the final least-squares calculation.
