A world first at the Groupe de Physique des Matériaux

In 2024, a team from the Groupe de Physique des Matériaux (GPM) succeeded in unifying two major high-resolution microscopy techniques into a single instrument: atom probe tomography and transmission electron microscopy. This achievement, published in Nature Communications, paves the way for a better convergence of these techniques, enabling more precise three-dimensional atomic-scale descriptions of matter.

APT School 2024

 

This school will provide a thorough background on the principles of the atom probe technique, from the theory of the field evaporation to data mining. Lectures will focus on the basics of APT with a special emphasis on up-to-date techniques (laser-pulsing, DLD detectors, FIB specimen preparation). Beside this lecture series, practicals are organized including specimen preparation, Field Ion Microscopy, APT analysis and data mining.
