Correlative TEM/APT: achieve true 3D quantification of grain boundary segregation
An introduction to Atom Probe Tomography and its ability to deliver 3D compositional mapping at near-atomic resolution.
Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a unique microanalytical technique offering extensive capabilities for 3D imaging and chemical composition measurement at the atomic scale. Allowing to determine the identity and position of nearly every atom in a material, APT enables precedented understanding of nanostructures in metals & alloys.
Combining Transmission Electron Microscopy with Atom Probe Tomography, researchers are able to characterize grain regions at the nanoscale and to achieve true 3D quantification of grain boundary segregation.
