To broaden the applications of the three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) technique for mapping real 3D atomic distributions for a wide variety of materials, the technical limitations of the conventional ...

Atom probe is a microscope used in material science. The atom probe is closely related to the method of Field Ion Microscopy. Atom probes are unlike conventional optical or electron microscopes, in ...

Devaraj and others in the field turn instead to a technology called atom probe tomography (APT). APT uses either ultrafast electrical or laser pulses, depending on whether the sample under ...
