Texture Coefficient

The Texture Coefficient proposed by Charles S. Barrett & T. B. Massalski is based on Harris’s work.

where,

I_{(h k l)}: measured relative intensity

I_{0(h k l):} relative intensity of the corresponding plane given in JCPDS data

n: number of reflections

the point is if a few reflections are available (i.e. number of n is small), the above Eqn becomes inaccurate.
