The phrase "a preferred orientation for" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a specific direction or arrangement that is favored in a particular context, such as in scientific, technical, or design discussions.
Example: "In this study, we aim to determine a preferred orientation for the crystal structure to optimize its properties."
Alternatives: "a favored alignment for" or "an optimal direction for".
All patterns show a preferred orientation for the Cu(111) crystallographic orientation.
Thus, the unique patterns of surface charges of SNARE complex and regulatory factors appear to cooperate with intrinsic structural constraints to ensure a preferred orientation for SNARE complex relative to fusing membranes.
We indeed see that collateral interaction tends to align in time the principal layer of different cells, defining a preferred orientation for the global structure of the grid.
The composition and structure of the CrN coatings have been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), using θ/2θ diffraction mode and Schulz reflection methods, which revealed a preferred orientation of CrN(220) for CrN/Cr/AISI 4140.
The structure of bile-acid micelles is believed to be elongated with hydrophobic parts pointing towards the center of the aggregate.[ 20] Our experimental solvent PREs do not provide any evidence for a preferred orientation of some part of the structure towards the surface.
A preferred orientation correction accounting for platelets perpendicular to [001] direction was added to the refinement.
At high Ts, the precipitates extend along the surface plane to form horizontal lamellae that cause grain re-nucleation and, in turn, a disruption of the columnar microstructure and a transition from a strong 002 texture for pure CrN to a mixed preferred orientation for the composite coatings.
For HfN, the similar HfN crystalline features with a preferred orientation (111) were observed for all conditions.
A sensible set of parameters was obtained by fixing the B iso values at 3.0 Å for the P.Y. 181 and the NMP molecules and at 5.0 Å for the DMSO molecule, which gave an excellent fit to the experimental data without any need for a preferred orientation correction.
The existence of such a preferred orientation implies a novel "propeller" mechanism for SNARE complex to directly drive membrane fusion.
(144) This method is particularly applicable for particles that adopt a preferred orientation on the support grid.
