What we do
The UA GeoAPT laboratory is designed to develop atom probe tomography (APT) for Earth Sciences applications
Our primary goals are: - Improvement of the current knowledge of the geochemical characterization of minerals at the atomic scale. - APT characterization of geological standards. - Development of new geological APT applications. - Sharing APT expertise to address current geologic problems. |
