Abstract Scope |
Over the past decade, the improvements in the capability of 3D nanoscale characterization using atom probe tomography (APT) have been remarkable. The advances have enabled the analysis of material systems and structures far beyond the early limitations of APT to bulk metals. In addition, the maturation of FIB-based specimen preparation methods and the use of in-situ t-EBSD/STEM has made site-specific analyses truly routine. This presentation will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art hardware, software, and applications with a perspective on the performance needs of various selected applications that have moved APT from pure research to development and manufacturing support. |
