In field ion microscope (FIM) images the dependence of the brightness of the crystallographic direction is easily observed. This difference in brightness can be related to the evaporation fields at different poles. However this approach allows only a rough qualitative estimation. In this paper an approach will be presented, which utilizes the newly available Wide Angle Atom Probe Tomography (WA-APT) to identify quantitative relations.
The method will be discussed for pure Al- and W-samples. The results are relevant for the development of reconstruction algorithms in WA-APT. Current instruments can analyze a projection angle of about 70∘ compared to 20∘, which was state of the art 10 years ago. Thus the assumption of hemispherical, symmetrical tips for the reconstruction is not valid anymore. Evaporation fields can be used to identify a complex tip shape and lead to more accurate reconstructions.
