Atom Probe Tomography Laboratory

The Atom Probe Tomography Laboratory is an associated facility of the Renewable Energy MRSEC at the Colorado School of Mines directed by Professor Brian Gorman. The laboratory has two advanced atom probe systems, both acquired through a recent NSF MRI development grant led by Professor Brian Gorman. The atom probes are being used to investigate materials atom by atom to speed deployment of advanced materials processing, and a new dynamic atom probe is under development that will be able to integrate atomic spatial and chemical resolution measurements with sub-ns temporal resolution for monitoring diffusion, phase transformations, and crystallization processes.
