Atom Probe Tomography (APT) has been used by materials scientists since the 1980s to understand why materials behave the way they do. Most material properties—such as strength, hardness, ductility, corrosion resistance, and creep—are directly linked to atomic-scale arrangements.
Today, modern atom probe systems offer enhanced ease of use and deliver powerful insights across a wide range of materials, from metals and dielectrics to semiconductors, whether in bulk form or in complex engineered devices—from superalloys to nanoelectronics.
In this webinar, Robert Ulfig will discuss fundamental technologies, their evolution, and the latest applications pushing the boundaries of analysis at the nanoscale.
▶️ "Introduction to Atom Probe Tomography (APT) and its Historical and New Materials Applications "
📅 May 19, 2026 - 10 AM CDT / 5 PM CET
⭐ Key learnings will include:
- The technology that enables nanoscale compositional information with up to 80% atomic efficiency in three dimensions
- Basic requirements for compatibility and specimen preparation
- A summary of what APT has contributed to the world historically and the latest applications
