Atom probe lectures

The difficulties in getting new users trained at MPIE because of COVID have pushed me (and others) to use online resources for teaching the basics of atom probe tomography

These are rather informal and not aimed at replacing reading a textbook :) I also used material from a range of colleagues –

hopefully all acknoledged properly, particularly Prof. François Vurpillot, Drs. Brian Geiser, Christoph Freysoldt etc.

some of these lectures were inspired by some I gave at Atom Probe Summer Schools organised by the University of Rouen or FAU Erlangen

What we do in the group

Basic theory of atom probe

Pulsing modes

Learning from the detector space

Overview of the principles of 3D reconstruction for APT – lecture 1

Overview of the principles of 3D reconstruction for APT – lecture 2

There are also several research-talks and introductory talks to atom probe and cryogenic atom probe here:

• there are a couple more lectures for instance for the MMELO lecture series: Introduction to atom probe tomography: performance and opportunities in characterising structures

• our talk on the APT analysis of frozen liquids as part of the Coffee with Max Planck lecture series

• and a lecture en français on hydrogen and the role of characterization in understanding hydrogen in materials as part of the French ambassy in Germany lecture series: Du Terawatt and picometre
