An investigation of the ellipticity of an EDP using a least-squares fitting algorithm. (a) The experimental EDP of an Au sample showing horizontal elongation. (b) Azimuthal spreading of the region of interest, highlighted in the circular band in panel (a). The least-squares fit gives a distortion direction close to 180°, which is identical to the observed horizontal direction. (c) The recreated EDP pattern after correction of the detected distortion. (d) Azimuthal spreading of the region of interest highlighted in the circular band in panel (c), showing that the ellipticity is nearly cancelled. |
