It was with great regret that we cancelled our original plans to welcome you all to Oxford for APT&M 2020, the 57th Meeting of the International Field Emission Society. We were honoured to be given the opportunity to host this conference and had been working excitedly over the course of the past two years towards this end. However, in the words of our fellow Oxfordian, J. R. R. Tolkien, “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him”, and as the Covid-19 global pandemic increasingly encroached upon all of our daily lives, sadly our plans for APT&M 2020 were not to be. Our IFES community can take great heart from the initial response to the call for abstracts. We received 240 abstracts from 190 unique presenting authors. Abstracts touted a diverse range of scientific research, across a broad spectrum of topics and disciplines. A significant number of these abstracts were from students, however, we received submissions from researchers across all stages of their scientific careers. This all speaks to the continued growth and vibrancy of this scientific community, and motivated our decision, together with the IFES Steering Committee, to host this Virtual APT&M meeting, as an opportunity for us all to come together. We are particularly pleased to be able to incorporate some of the key features of the conventional conference that make our meeting so special. This includes the E. W. Müller Outstanding Emerging Scientist Award. The current finalists look set to once again reach the highest of standards set in previous contests. The conference will also feature the Jochen H. Block Lecture, which will highlight scientific achievements of Dr Oana Cojocaru-Mirédin and her contributions to the field. We hope you enjoy the V-APT&M 2020. However, we also look forward to brighter days and eventually meeting again with all our colleagues face-to-face at the next instalment of the APT&M conference series, wherever in the world that may take us. Until then, stay safe.

Cairney 1,2 1) Australian Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis, The University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia 2) School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia The presence of hydrogen in steels can lead to catastrophic embrittlement/early-fracture. This is a serious issue for hydrogen transportation and storage. However, consensus has not been reached on the exact mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement, mainly due to the difficulty to provide direct evidence of the hydrogen-materials interactions that underpins the hypotheses [1]. In addition, a proposed solution to hydrogen embrittlement by using steels that contain hydrogen traps such as carbide precipitates [2], is limited in its effectiveness, due to the inability to directly observe the proposed hydrogen trapping at microstructural features. As such, we used atom probe to study the hydrogen distribution at key features, including dislocations [4], grain boundaries [4], and both incoherent [4] and coherent [3] carbide precipitates in BCC/BCT iron matrix. To enable these studies, we charged the sample with deuterium (a hydrogen isotope) to avoid ambiguity from background hydrogen, and utilised a custom cryogenic sample transfer protocol to allow sufficient signal to be retained for observations. These efforts lead to the confirmations of: i) hydrogen enrichment at dislocations (Figure A and B), providing a concrete validation of the hydrogen-enhanced dislocation mobility theory of embrittlement; ii) hydrogen enrichment at grain boundaries (Figure C and D), underpinning the hydrogen-enhanced grain boundary decohesion theory; iii) the hydrogen at the interface between large, incoherent precipitates and the surrounding steel matrix, settling a long-standing debate around whether hydrogen trapping is an interfacial effect; and iv) the hydrogen at the interior of small, coherent carbides, suggesting hydrogen can internalise into carbides under certain conditions.

Field Ion Microscopy (FIM), invented in 1951 by Erwin Muller, is the predecessor of the Atom Probe Tomography (APT). It is the first microscopy technique allowing a direct imaging of individual atoms at the surface of a material [1,2]. From several decades FIM remained a 2D surface microscope principally used to select analysis regions for Atom Probe Tomography. Nevertheless, field evaporation allows to records images with a sub-angstrom precision at different depths in the material. The ability to localized the 3D positions of individual atoms has been established by Seidman et al.

Shaw2 1University of the Sunshine Coast 2Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation & Analysis University of Western Australia Australia 1. Introduction Over the course of evolution, a range of strategies have been developed by different organisms to produce unique materials and structures perfected for their specific function. This biological mastery of materials production has inspired the birth of the new discipline of biomaterials through biomimicry (Birchall, 1989). Chitons (Mollusca: Polyplacophora) are slow moving, bilaterally symmetrical and dorso- ventrally flattened molluscs that are commonly found on hard substrata in intertidal regions of coastlines around the world (Kaas & Jones, 1998). All species are characterized by a series of eight dorsal, articulating shell plates or valves, which may be embedded, to varying degrees, in a fleshy, muscular girdle (Kaas & Jones, 1998) (Figure 1). Approximately 750 living species are known, and while intertidal regions are home to the majority of chitons, a number of species can be found at depths of up to 8000m where they feed on detrital material (Kaas & Jones, 1998). Fig. 1. Photograph of the dorsal surface of the chiton Acanthopleura gaimardi, showing the eight overlapping aragonite plates surrounded by the fleshy girdle, which, in this species, is covered in small aragonite spines.

Stephenson, Agnieszka Szczepaniak, Huan Zhao, Dierk Raabe Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH, Max-Planck-Straße 1, 40237, Düsseldorf, Germany. Abstract Atom probe tomography (APT) is rising in influence across many parts of materials science and engineering thanks to its unique combination of highly sensitive composition measurement and three-dimensional microstructural characterization. In this article, we have selected a few recent applications that showcase the unique capacity of APT to measure the local composition at structural defects. Whether we consider dislocations, stacking faults or grain boundary, the detailed compositional measurements tend to indicate specific partitioning behaviors for the different solutes in both complex engineering and model alloys we investigated. Introduction Field-ion-based techniques were initially developed for studying surfaces 1,2: The field ion microscope (FIM) reveals the structure of a material with atomic-scale resolution 3, at least in some parts of the image, while the implementation of a time-of-flight spectrometer onto a field ion microscope, which is the atom probe, targeted the elemental identification of atoms images at the surface 4.

It is an enabling technology that not only provides imagery of conducting as well as uncoated insulating nano–structures but also allows to create these features. The latter can be achieved using resists or material removal due to sputtering. The close to free–form sculpting of structures over several length scales has been made possible by the extension of the method to other gases such as Neon. A brief introduction of the underlying physics as well as a broad review of the applicability of the method is presented in this review. I. INTRODUCTION High resolution imaging, in particular in biology and materials science, is mostly done using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The ease of use and the widespread availability has made this the number one method for imaging in the aforementioned fields. Structuring and manipulation of nano–sized features is traditionally the domain of Focused Ion Beams. Here, mainly liquid metal ion sources (LMIS) using Gallium are used.

Atom Probe Tomography Analysis of Exsolved Mineral Phases. J. Vis. Exp. (152), e59863, doi:10.3791/59863 (2019). Abstract Element diffusion rates and temperature/pressure control a range of fundamental volcanic and metamorphic processes. Such processes are often recorded in lamellae exsolved from host mineral phases. Thus, the analysis of the orientation, size, morphology, composition and spacing of exsolution lamellae is an area of active research in the geosciences. The conventional study of these lamellae has been conducted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and more recently with focused ion beam (FIB)-based nanotomography, yet with limited chemical information. Here, we explore the use of atom probe tomography (APT) for the nanoscale analysis of ilmenite exsolution lamellae in igneous titanomagnetite from ash deposits erupted from the active Soufrière Hills Volcano (Montserrat, British West Indies). APT allows the precise calculation of interlamellar spacings (14–29 ± 2 nm) and reveals smooth diffusion profiles with no sharp phase boundaries during the exchange of Fe and Ti/O between the exsolved lamellae and the host crystal.

  • Implementation of Atomically Defined Field Ion Microscopy Tips in Scanning Probe Microscopy
    Implementation of atomically defined Field Ion Microscopy tips in Scanning Probe Microscopy William Paul, Yoichi Miyahara, and Peter Grütter Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Field Ion Microscope (FIM) can be used to characterize the atomic configuration of the apex of sharp tips. These tips are well suited for Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) since they predetermine SPM resolution and electronic structure for spectroscopy. A protocol is proposed to preserve the atomic structure of the tip apex from etching due to gas impurities during the transfer period from FIM to SPM, and estimations are made regarding the time limitations of such an experiment due to contamination by ultra-high vacuum (UHV) rest gases. While avoiding any current setpoint overshoot to preserve the tip integrity, we present results from approaches of atomically defined tungsten tips to the tunneling regime with Au(111), HOPG, and Si(111) surfaces at room temperature. We conclude from these experiments that adatom mobility and physisorbed gas on the sample surface limit the choice of surfaces for which the tip integrity is preserved in tunneling experiments at room temperature. The atomic structure of FIM tip apices is unchanged only after tunneling to the highly reactive Si(111) surface. 1. Introduction experiments[7–11]. These, and other combined FIM/STM studies [12–15] shed light on some of the atom transfer The utility of the Field Ion Microscope (FIM) for processes in the tip-sample junction. A detailed study characterizing tips destined for Scanning Tunneling presenting a protocol for the preservation of tip apex structures Microscopy (STM) experiments was first considered by Fink in SPM experiments still does not exist.

Abstract Adhesion experiments with platinum and gold contacting tungsten and iridium field-ion- microscope emitter tips were conducted in vacuum. Platinum contacting tungsten at 300 K showed an ordered surface believed to represent mechanical transfer of the platinum onto the tungsten in an ordered manner. Gold contacting tungsten at 78 K showed essentially a random transfer with some clustering of gold atoms. Gold transferred onto iridium by contacting at 78 K presented an ordered appearance due to decoration of ledge sites by the gold atoms.
