Ti and its alloys as examples of cryogenic focused ion beam milling of environmentally-sensitive materials

Hydrogen contamination in metals during sample preparation for high-resolution microscopy remains a challenge, especially when hydrogen itself is being investigated. Here, the authors show that using cryogenic milling significantly reduces hydrogen pick-up during sample preparation of titanium and t...
