A major challenge with cryogenic atom probe sample preparation is that Gas Injection System based deposition is generally unsuitable to liftout and mount samples to support structures due to a lack of control of deposition. Developments in localized in-situ sputtering of metals have avoided this issue and have facilitated mounting of samples for many material systems requiring cryogenic...
The energy transition relies on materials with complex and dynamic interfaces involving low atomic weight and mobile liquid, solid, and gaseous species. Understanding the chemistry, phase, and morphology of these interfaces at high-resolution length scales is crucial for optimising their behaviour and performance. However, existing high-resolution imaging and characterisation techniques...
