Influence of surface migration on the spatial resolution of pulsed laser atom probe tomography

The impact of laser pulsing on the field evaporation process is investigated for Al and W by pulsed laser atom probe tomography. Quantitative analysis reveals the influence on the spatial resolution of the peak temperature reached by the specimen following light absorption from the laser pulse. It i...
