A model to predict image formation in the three-dimensional field ion microscope
Benjamin Klaes, Rodrigue Larde, Fabien Delaroche +5
This article presents a numerical model dedicated to the simulation of field ion microscopy (FIM). FIM was the first technique to image individual atoms on the surface of a materia…

Growth mechanism for nanotips in high electric fields
Ville Jansson, Ekaterina Baibuz, Andreas Kyritsakis +5
In this work we show using atomistic simulations that the biased diffusion in high electric field gradients creates a mechanism whereby nanotips may start growing from small surfac…
