`R`	3-by-3 matrix in SO3

Every rotation can be thought of as some reference coordinate system rotated about an axis through an angle. These quantites are referred to as the misorientation axis and misorientation angle, respectively, in the material sciences literature. This function returns the misorentation axis associated with a rotation assuming the reference coordinate system is the identity.

axis in form of three dimensional vector of length one.
