Abstract

We present a different approach to laser-assisted atom probe tomography, where instead of using a near-UV laser for inducing a thermal transient, we use an extreme-ultraviolet coherent light source to trigger eld ion emission at the tip's apex. The use of extreme-ultraviolet photons in atom probe tomography opens the potential for an athermal eld ionization pathway.
