Описание методических аспектов пробоподготовки и дифракции отраженных электронов в исследовании микродеформаций в зернах циркона.</p><p>   Объекты исследования и методы. При помощи сканирующей электронной микроскопии (SEM) и метода дифракции отраженных электронов (EBSD) исследованы фрагменты импактитов из ударно-преобразованной породы кратеров Вредерфорт (ЮАР) и Кара (хр. Пай-Хой, п-ов Югорский, Россия).</p></sec><sec><title>   Результаты</title><p>   Результаты. Поиск циркона с определенными микродеформациями требует детального обследования значительных площадей полированных фрагментов породы с высоким пространственным разрешением (десятки нм), что требует значительных затрат приборного времени. Для оперативного и надежного выявления микродеформаций в цирконе необходимо решение ряда методических вопросов: (1) анализ значимости влияния условий регистрации дифракционных картин (EBSP-изображений) при разном ускоряющем напряжении пучка (10, 20, 29 кВ) на соотношения сигнал/шум, пространственное разрешение и ширину полос Кикучи, (2) сравнение карт зерна циркона, полученных при 10, 20 и 29 кВ, (3) разработка алгоритма поиска минералов и диагностики деформаций в минералах, (4) апробация методики на зернах циркона из метеоритных кратеров Вредерфорт и Кара.</p></sec><sec><title>   Выводы</title><p>   Выводы. Отработана методика пробоподготовки шлифов для EBSD-метода, рассмотрены методы обработки EBSD-данных, позволяющих повысить качество индексирования дифракционных изображений Кикучи. Повышена эффективность обнаружения и анализа ударно-преобразованных зерен циркона с использованием сканирующего электронного микроскопа, оптимизированы условия регистрации электронных изображений и EBSD-карт; разработан алгоритм поиска минералов в шлифах (срезы пород). Методика апробирована на серии из 50 шлифов импактных пород Кара и Вредефорта, в результате чего обнаружено 436 зерен циркона, среди которых выявлены все известные типы микродеформаций зерен циркона.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>   Subject of Research</title><p>   Subject of Research. Methodological aspects of sample preparation and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in the study of microdeformations in zircon grains.</p></sec><sec><title>   Objects and Methods</title><p>   Objects and Methods. Fragments of impactites from shock-metamorphosed rocks of the Vredefort (South Africa) and Kara (Pay-Khoy Ridge, Yugorsky Peninsula, Russia) impact craters were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction.</p></sec><sec><title>   Results</title><p>   Results. The identification of zircon grains with specific microdeformations requires high-spatial-resolution (tens of nanometers) examination of large polished rock surfaces, which demands significant instrument time. To reliably detect microdeformations in zircon, the following methodological challenges were addressed: (1) analyzing the influence of Electron Backscatter Diffraction Pattern (EBSP) imaging conditions at different beam accelerating voltages (10, 20, and 29 kV) on the signal-to-noise ratio, spatial resolution, and Kikuchi band width; (2) comparing zircon grain orientation maps obtained at different voltages; (3) developing an algorithm for mineral identification and microdeformation finding; and (4) validating the methodology on zircon grains from the Vredefort and Kara impact craters.</p></sec><sec><title>   Conclusions</title><p>   Conclusions. The sample preparation methodology for EBSD analysis was refined, and methods for processing EBSD data to improve Kikuchi diffraction pattern indexing were explored. The efficiency of detecting and analyzing shock-metamorphosed zircon grains using scanning electron microscopy was enhanced through optimized electron imaging and EBSD mapping conditions. An algorithm for mineral identification in thin sections (rock slices) was developed. The methodology was validated on a series of 50 thin sections from the Kara and Vredefort impactites, resulting in the identification of 436 zircon grains, including all known types of zircon microdeformations.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>циркон</kwd><kwd>микродеформации</kwd><kwd>сканирующая электронная микроскопия</kwd><kwd>метод дифракции отраженных электронов</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>zircon</kwd><kwd>microdeformations</kwd><kwd>scanning electron microscopy</kwd><kwd>electron backscatter diffraction</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="ru"><funding-statement>Работа выполнена в рамках государственного задания ИГГ УрО РАН, темы № 123011800012-9 и № 124020300057-6 с использованием оборудования ЦКП “Геоаналитик” ИГГ УрО РАН</funding-statement></funding-group><funding-group xml:lang="en"><funding-statement>This work was supported by the state assignments of the Institute of Geology and Geochemistry, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Projects No. 123011800012-9 and No. 124020300057-6) using the equipment of the Geoanalitik Shared Research Facility</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Фельдман В.И.
