Abstract

The influence of emitter temperature and ionisation potentials of emitter atoms on the process of field evaporation was studied by means of time-of flight atom probe and field emission microscopy. For the study of the influence of ionization potential on the evaporation process alloy NiCr (20% Cr, 80% Ni) and carbide W were selected. The mass spectrum were obtained at various emitter temperature T from 80 K to the temperature near the melting point. Evaporation of easy evaporated element leads to reduction of binding energy of more difficult evaporated element before such values, as its evaporation becomes to be possible at the same value F_ev
