“…It is difficult to establish the extent of the spinodal decomposition from conventional microstructural observations because of the fine scale of the fluctuations and the similarity of X-ray and electron scattering factors for iron and chromium. APFIM is found to be a very suitable technique for the study of the fine scale changes in these steels (Miller et al, 1984;Miller & Bentley, 1986;Sassen et al, 1987), but the conventional atom probe is only able to generate 1-D composition profiles, from which details of the 3-D morphology must be inferred. The sequence of images in Fig.…”

SUMMARY A position‐sensitive detector has been combined with time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry in the atom probe field‐ion microscope to yield a system in which both chemical identity and spatial information are obtained for individual ions field‐evaporated from the specimen surface. This allows the variations in composition originally present in the sample to be reconstructed in 3‐D with sub‐nanometre resolution. The prototype position‐sensitive atom probe is being used to study phase chemistry in a number of metallurgical alloys, including accurate composition determination of 1–2 nm Cu‐rich precipitates formed in Fe–1.3% Cu–1.4%Ni aged to peak hardness. Other applications of the position‐sensitive atom probe (POSAP) include the analysis of surface layers on superconductors and atom probe studies of semiconductor multiple quantum wells. These initial applications of the instrument are reported, and the limitations and intended improvements to the instrument are discussed.

Site preference determination in intermetallic compounds by thermal conductivity measurement

et al. 2001

A method for the determination of site preference of substitutional elements in intermetallic compounds is proposed. It is demonstrated in Ni 3 Al-X alloys that the ridge direction in thermal conductivity contours in the ternary ␥Ј phase agrees with that of the solubility lobe of the ␥Ј phase in ternary phase diagrams. The ridge direction is a reliable indication of site preference of substitutional elements in intermetallic compounds. The present method is conveniently applied to a normal polycrystalline specimen with small size, and therefore, a versatile class of brittle compounds can be studied.
