What Does APM Stand For?
APM stands for Atom Probe Microanalysis
APM, or Atom Probe Microanalysis, is a high-resolution analytical technique used in materials science to characterize the composition and structure of materials at the atomic level. It involves the field evaporation of individual atoms from a sharp tip, allowing for the study of spatial distribution and chemical properties. APM is particularly valuable for analyzing complex materials, including metals, alloys, and semiconductors, providing insights into their microstructural features and functionalities.
