How precisely are solute clusters in RPV steels characterized by atom probe experiments?
Atom probe tomography (APT) is a powerful microscopy technique to characterize nano-sized clusters of the alloying elements in the bulk of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels. These clusters are known to dominantly determine the evolution of mechanical properties under irradiation. The results are conventionally summarized as the overall number density …
