pulse_mode: (optional) NX_CHAR
How is field evaporation physically triggered. ...
How is field evaporation physically triggered.
Any of these values:
laser|voltage|laser_and_voltagepulse_frequency: (optional) NX_FLOAT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_ions]) {units=NX_FREQUENCY}
Frequency with which the high voltage or laser pulser fires.
pulse_fraction: (optional) NX_FLOAT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_ions]) {units=NX_DIMENSIONLESS}
Fraction of the pulse_voltage that is applied in addition ...
Fraction of the pulse_voltage that is applied in addition to the standing_voltage at peak voltage of a pulse.
If a standing voltage is applied, this gives nominal pulse fraction (as a function of standing voltage). Otherwise this field should not be present.
pulsed_voltage: (optional) NX_FLOAT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_ions]) {units=NX_VOLTAGE}

In laser pulsing mode the values will be zero so the this field is recommended. However, for voltage pulsing mode it is highly recommended that users report the pulsed_voltage.
pulse_number: (optional) NX_UINT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_ions]) {units=NX_UNITLESS}
Absolute number of pulses starting from the beginning of the experiment.
standing_voltage: (optional) NX_FLOAT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_ions]) {units=NX_VOLTAGE}
Direct current voltage between the specimen and the (local electrode) in ...
Direct current voltage between the specimen and the (local electrode) in the case of local electrode atom probe (LEAP) instrument. The standing voltage applied to the sample, relative to system ground.
FABRICATION: (optional) NXfabrication
SOURCE: (optional) NXsource
Atom probe microscopes use controlled laser, voltage, ...
Atom probe microscopes use controlled laser, voltage, or a combination of pulsing strategies to trigger the excitation and eventual field evaporation/emission of an ion during an experiment.
Given name/alias.
wavelength: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_WAVELENGTH}
Nominal wavelength of the laser radiation.
power: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_POWER} ⤆
Nominal power of the laser source while illuminating the specimen.
pulse_energy: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ENERGY}
Average energy of the laser at peak of each pulse.
FABRICATION: (optional) NXfabrication
BEAM: (optional) NXbeam
Details about specific positions along the focused laser beam ...
Details about specific positions along the focused laser beam which illuminates the (atom probe) specimen.
incidence_vector: (optional) NXcollection
Track time-dependent settings over the course of the ...
Track time-dependent settings over the course of the measurement how the laser beam in tip space/reconstruction space laser impinges on the sample, i.e. the mean vector is parallel to the laser propagation direction.
pinhole_position: (optional) NXcollection
Track time-dependent settings over the course of the ...
Track time-dependent settings over the course of the measurement where the laser beam exits the focusing optics.
spot_position: (optional) NXcollection
Track time-dependent settings over the course of the ...
Track time-dependent settings over the course of the measurement where the laser hits the specimen.
TRANSFORMATIONS: (optional) NXtransformations ⤆
Affine transformations which describe the geometry how the ...
Affine transformations which describe the geometry how the laser focusing optics/pinhole-attached coordinate system is defined, how it has to be transformed so that it aligns with the specimen coordinate system. A right-handed Cartesian coordinate system, the so-called laser space, should be assumed, whose positive z-axis points into the direction of the propagating laser beam.
