McGill University and PolyAPT collaborate on the three-dimensional atomic scale analysis of biomaterials and the development materials for Lithium-Ion batteries
McGill University and PolyAPT will work together on extending the usage of Atom Probe Tomography towards imaging the interface between biominerals in hard biological materials like bones or teeth and the soft tissue that surrounds them. The main challenges include preserving these materials in their ideal natural hydrated state during the sample preparation process and carrying out correlative microscopy to enable the characterization of the full-scale of hierarchical organized structures such as bones from the anatomical macroscale over the microscale to the nanoscale.
The two institutions will furthermore work together on understanding the structure-property-performance relationship of battery materials. Using a combination of Focused Ion Beam assisted Scanning Electron Microscopy Tomography and Atom Probe Tomography we will map the distribution of Lithium in battery components in order to understand its impact on the battery’s performance.

École de technologie supérieure Montreal and PolyAPT collaborate on the development high strength magnesium alloys and high strength steels
École de technologie supérieure Montreal and PolyAPT will work together on the development of high strength magnesium alloys and high strength steels. Atom Probe Tomography will be used to characterize carbon segregations at the interface between different phases to create a reliable understanding of the formation of nanocrystalline bainitic structures utilized for high strength steel. Furthermore, long period stacking ordered structures high strength magnesium alloys will be studied using Atom Probe analyses to reveal the distribution of zinc and rare earth materials in these alloys.

Université de Sherbrooke and PolyAPT collaborate on the development of quantum materials
Université de Sherbrooke and PolyAPT will work together on the development of quantum materials for the implementation of qubits. The Atom Probe’s unique capability of imaging the distribution of isotopes on the sub-nanometer scale will be utilized to develop the growth of nanoscale heterostructures from isotopically purified semiconducting materials like 28Si or 70Ge. These spin-free stable isotopes of commonly used semiconductors are promising candidate for the implementation of spin qubits as the nuclear spin-free environment surpresses the dephasing of the qubit spin and hence enables more stable operation of the qubits.
