摘要
The position sensitive atom probe (POSAP) is an extremely high resolution technique for microanalysis. In addition to its microanalytical capabilities, it can also be used to determine the three-dimensional structure of fine scale percolated microstructures. Presentation of data is a major issue in studying three-dimensional microstructures and new techniques of visualization using a graphics supercomputer are presented in this paper. The interpretation of the results requires the modelling of the underlying physical processes. Two modelling techniques are presented; a numerical solution to the nonlinear diffusion equation and a Monte Carlo simulation. The visualization and parameterization of the microstructures determined from POSAP data are compared with those produced from numerical solutions and the Monte Carlo simulations.
