IFES 2008 - Pre-meeting school

Pre-meeting school
Sunday 29 June (10 am - 6 pm)

Organized by :
E. Marquis (University of Oxford)
F. Vurpillot (University of Rouen)

A one-day school on atom probe tomography that will be held on the Sunday preceding the International Field Emission Symposium, June 29, 2008.

This day of lectures will provide a thorough background on the principles of the atom probe technique, data reconstruction, evaporation artefacts, and data mining through the presentation of many examples taken from metallurgical as well as semiconductor applications.

The International Field Emission Society organises a pre-conference school devoted on to the technique of Atom probe Tomography (APT). This school will focus on the basics of APT for the benefits of young researchers wanting to further their knowledge on the technique. Indeed, the recent improvements in instrumentation technology (laser-pulsing, wide field of view detectors etc) and specimen preparation (site-specific FIB fabrication) have made the technique more readily available to researchers, applicable to a wider range of materials and has raised the interest of many new research teams all over the world.
