Abstract

An informatics based approach to extract refinements on the crystallographic information embedded in the Spatial Distribution Maps (SDMs) is developed. The complex SDM data is deconvoluted into meaningful spectra using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The interpretation of structural information from these spectra and generation of refined SDMs is discussed in detail. Our approach results in a method to generate SDMs that can map three-dimensional crystallographic information as opposed to existing methods that map structural information on only one atomic plane at a time. The broader implications of this work on enhancing the interpretation and resolution of structural information in atom probe tomography studies are also discussed.
