The present invention discloses a method and
system for improving the three-dimensional atomic probe
mass spectrometry resolution of
metal materials based on
laser polarization and field enhancement effect. The method first prepares the
metal material to be tested into a nano-scale needle tip sample, places it on a three-dimensional atomic probe sample stage, and then uses a linearly polarized
laser as an excitation source, adjusts its polarization direction to be consistent with the axis of the sample needle tip, and then uses a three-dimensional mobile platform to gradually adjust the distance between the sample needle tip and the focused spot of the
laser for detection. In order to realize the above method, the present invention also provides a related
system, which includes a linearly polarized
laser source, an
optical polarization adjustment module, a three-dimensional mobile platform, a three-dimensional atomic probe body and a
data acquisition and
processing device. The method uses the laser field enhancement effect to replace the traditional
thermal effect driving mechanism through
laser polarization direction adjustment, near-field positioning and parameter optimization, effectively solving the technical problem of
low resolution caused by
thermal effect, and greatly improving the resolution of three-dimensional atomic probe
mass spectrometry.
