Materials characterization techniques all have their own strengths and weaknesses. A synergetic approach between complementary techniques such as Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) and Atom Probe Tomography (APT) could magnify the power of these techniques – allowing discoveries that each alone would miss. The standard and cutting-edge technologies of each technique will be summarized from specimen preparation to data reduction and examples of the complimentary techniques will be discussed.
