This review addresses new developments in the emerging area of “atom probe crystallography”, a materials characterization tool with the unique capacity to reveal both composition and crystallographic structure at the atomic scale. This information is crucial for the manipulation of microstructure for the design of both structural and functional materials with optimized mechanical, electric, optoelectronic, magnetic, or superconducting properties that will find application in, for example, nanoelectronics or energy generation. The ability to extract crystallographic information from 3D atomistic reconstruction has exciting potential synergies with modern modeling techniques, blending experimental and computational methods to extend our insight.

• Microstructural evolution during ageing of Al–Cu–Li–x alloys (2014, unknown): “ms within volumes of approximately 100 nm x 100 nm x 500 nm with sub-nanometer resolution and can also be used to determine the orientation of the grains and the crystallographic features within them [21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26]. It is therefore a useful tool for examining the orientation and compositio”
