What Does POSAP Stand For?

POSAP stands for Position Sensitive Atom Probe

POSAP, or Position Sensitive Atom Probe, is an advanced analytical technique used in materials science to achieve high-resolution mapping of atomic-scale structures. This method enhances the spatial sensitivity of traditional atom probe techniques by employing a position-sensitive detector, enabling accurate spatial localization of individual atoms within a sample. POSAP facilitates detailed investigation of material compositions, interfaces, and nanostructures, providing critical insights for applications in fields such as metallurgy, nanotechnology, and semiconductor research.
