Atom probe tomography (APT) enables nanoscale characterization of materials. New analytical methods accurately quantify features as small as 1 nm, demonstrated on steel particles.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Atom probe tomography (APT) is a powerful technique for high-resolution nanoscale material characterization.
  • Accurate quantification of microstructural features at the nanometer scale is crucial for understanding material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline analytical techniques for quantitative analysis of atom probe tomography data.
  • To demonstrate the application of these techniques for characterizing nanoscale features in advanced steels.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of analytical methods for processing atom probe tomography data.
  • Quantitative analysis of feature size, composition, and spatial distribution.
  • Case study involving mechanically alloyed, oxide-dispersion-strengthened steel.
