What Does APS Stand For?

APS stands for Atom Probe Spectroscopy

Atom Probe Spectroscopy (APS) is a cutting-edge analytical technique used to characterize materials at the atomic level. It enables the three-dimensional reconstruction of a specimen's atomic structure, allowing for the detailed analysis of its composition, distribution of elements, and phase separation. By utilizing a pulsed electric field to field-evaporate ions from a sharp metallic tip, APS provides high spatial and chemical resolution, making it essential for research in materials science, nanotechnology, and semiconductor industries.
