pyccapt 0.0.32

A package for controlling APT experiment and calibrating the APT data

PyCCAPT

A modular, FAIR open-source python atom probe tomography software package for controlling experiment and calibrating data

/pypi/license/pip This package aims to provide an open-source software for controlind atom probe systems and calibrate the data. The package is modular and can be used in a wide range of applications.

Presentation

Today, the vast majority of atom probe instruments in use are commercial systems with proprietary software. This is limiting for many experiments where low-level access to machine control or experiment result data is necessary. This package was tested on the OXCART atom probe, which is an in-house atom probe. The unique feature of OXCART atom probe is that it has a measuring chamber made of titanium to generate a particularly low-hydrogen vacuum. It was equipped with a highly efficient detector (approx. 80% detection efficiency). This package is also used to control other atom probe systems.

PyCCAPT package provides the basis of a fully FAIR atom probe data collection and analysis chain.
This repository contains the GUI and control program, which control, visualize, and do the atom probe experiment. The images below are an overview of the two version of user interface:
