Abstract

Atom probe tomography (APT) is one of the most spectacular microscopies that exist. A three-dimensional (3D) image at near atomic scale is produced with single-atom sensitivity where each atom (actually each isotope) in the image is identified. Because the fundamental data format is the 3D position and identity of individual atoms in a volume containing potentially hundreds of millions of atoms, many types of information may be gleaned. Elemental concentration may be determined in any subvolume size or shape simply by counting atoms. Concentration profiles may be calculated in any direction, even radially through a spherical feature or normal to any defined surface. Isoconcentration surfaces can be set to delineate and measure interfaces. Interatomic distribution functions can be determined for studying ordering, dopant interactions, cluster formation, crystal structure, diffusion, and early stages of precipitation. Once the dataset is obtained, the quality and quantity of results derived are limited principally by the intrinsic quality of the data and the microscopist’s ability to direct a computer to extract the information.
