Atom probe tomography (APT) provides three-dimensional compositional mapping with sub-
nanometre resolution. The sensitivity of APT is in the range of parts per million for all …

This is a viewpoint paper on recent progress in the understanding of the microstructure–
property relations of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). These alloys constitute a class …

The contribution of ultrafine grains and nanoscaled precipitates has been investigated in the
Al–Mg–Si system to optimize the combination of strength and electrical conductivity. A full …

The technique of atom probe tomography (APT) is reviewed with an emphasis on illustrating
what is possible with the technique both now and in the future. APT delivers the highest …

The composition of precipitates in three alloys of the Al–Zn–Mg–Cu system has been
investigated for different heat treatments, including peak-aged and over-aged states as well …

Due to their interaction with crystalline defects, solute atoms play a critical role in the
microstructure evolution of aluminum alloys during deformation. In addition, deformed …

Ultrafine-grained Al alloys produced by high-pressure torsion are found to exhibit a very
high strength, considerably exceeding the Hall–Petch predictions for ultrafine grains. This …

Using a combination of experimental techniques, including anomalous small-angle
scattering and atom-probe tomography, the evolution of precipitate microstructures during …

Atom probe tomography (APT) is an analytical technique that provides quantitative three‐
dimensional elemental and isotopic analyses at sub‐nanometre resolution across the whole …

The population of all non-equilibrium lattice defects in materials is referred to as
microstructure. Examples are point defects such as substitutional and interstitial atoms, and …
