APT uniquely enabled us to observe the diffusion of LSCF elements into GDC grain boundaries, a level of detail that other techniques could not achieve. "

 The CAMECA LEAP with UV laser pulsing is a powerful tool for 3D nanoscale geochemistry studies. Its introduction just a few years ago has enabled the analysis of a broad range of geological materials, including ground-breaking imaging of sub-micron isotopic distributions. Since the Geoscience Atom Probe Facility was established at Curtin University in 2015, researchers from around the world have visited the facility to make use of the LEAP’s capabilities, resulting in many new insights into geological processes active at the nanoscale.

  As a scientist interested in interfacial phenomena, the LEAP 5000 has provided a transformative microscope in quantifying elemental behavior across of a variety of material surfaces. This has enabled new understanding of material’s chemical structure and its effect in controlling properties, wether that be electrical, magnetic, optical or mechanical. "

Our LEAP gives us fundamental understanding of atomic interactions between alloying elements in microalloyed steels. Particularly the clustering behaviors of light elements detected must lead to development of a new class of low-alloy steels by controlling heterogeneity contained in a classical metallic solid solution.

 Predicting the in-service structural integrity of components in nuclear reactors is immensely challenging but essential from both safety and economic perspectives. The CAMECA LEAP provides an unrivalled capability to characterise the 3D atomic-scale irradiation damage caused by the interaction between energetic neutrons and atoms in structural components. The resultant microstructural data are used to underpin mechanistic models of the degradation processes and hence support safety cases for continued operation of nuclear reactors world-wide. "
Prof. Jonathan Hyde

The LEAP 4000 HR has allowed us to see radioisotope geologic time in 3D for the first time. It is revolutionizing our view of natural materials, allowing us to use our macro-scale mapping approaches at the scale of the mineral lattice. It is an exciting time to be an Atom Probe geoscientist! "
