Abstract

In this paper, we report results obtained from laser assisted three-dimensional (3-D) atom probe tomography (APT) on wüstite (Fe1−xO). Oxides are generally insulating and hence hard to analyse in conventional electrical assisted APT. To overcome this problem, femtosecond laser pulses are used instead of voltage pulses. Here we discuss some aspects of pulsed laser field evaporation and optimization of parameters to achieve better chemical accuracy.

Research Highlights► Use of femtosecond laser pulses instead of voltage pulses. ► Analysis of iron oxide by laser assisted atom probe tomography. ► Effect of experimental conditions on quantitativity of the analysis.
