Xenon plasma focussed ion beam preparation of an Al-6XXX alloy sample for atom probe tomography including analysis of an α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si dispersoid

A Xe plasma Focussed Ion Beam instrument was used to prepare in-situ specimens for Atom Probe Tomography from a bulk sample of an aluminium 6XXX alloy. The nature and distribution of precipitates and solute clusters observed in the alloy are not observed to differ between standard electropolishing m...
