Aberration-corrected atom probe tomography for materials engineering

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Observing atomic-scale structure (AS) is key to unlocking advanced materials science and engineering (MSE). Aims: We aim to (1) develop software that will enable the accurate observation of atoms in a material, and (2) apply this new software to additive manufactured alloys and quantum computing materials. Significance: We expect to complete aberration-corrected atom probe tomography capability for the first time internationally. We intend to gain better insights into some longstanding questions in MSE that can only be answered by accurately observing AS. Benefits: By making the outcomes commercially available, we aspire to improve consistency in the quality of products, and increased yield, that result from manufacturing processes.
