Specimen preparation methods for elemental characterisation of grain boundaries and isolated dislocations in multicrystalline silicon using atom probe tomography

Multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) is a cost effective feedstock for solar photovoltaic devices but is limited by the presence of defects and impurities. Imaging impurities segregated to nanometre-scale dislocations and grain boundaries is a challenge that few materials characterisation techniques can...
