Crystal orientation is an important factor when we consider microstructures in materials. With respect to a reference frame, certain crystal orientation can be expressed by a rotation angle around a unit vector . Partitioning of into rotation components around coordinate axes of the reference frame is discussed. For a rotation matrix corresponding to the axis/angle pair, its logarithm is a skew symmetric tensor with three independent elements, and . It is shown that these elements can be interpreted to be sums of the divided rotation angles around the coordinate axes. The elements and of called the log angles can be used as the rotation components to evaluate crystal orientation in materials.
