An alternative approach for simulating the field evaporation process in atom probe tomography is presented. The model uses the electrostatic Robin’s equation to directly calculate charge distribution over the tip apex conducting surface, without the need for a supporting mesh. The partial ionization state of the surface atoms is at the core of the method. Indeed, each surface atom is considered as a point charge, which is representative of its evaporation probability. The computational efficiency is ensured by an adapted version of the Barnes–Hut N-body problem algorithm. Standard desorption maps for cubic structures are presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

The high accuracy that can be achieved by the Boundary Element Method when it is used to solve the Laplace and Poisson equations for electrostatic systems is discussed. Applications to charged particle optics are described, with the emphasis on the commercial CPO programs [1]. The BEM is a charge-based method and so is ideally suitable for systems that include space-charge and/or cathodes. It can deal easily with electrodes of very different sizes. These and other properties of the BEM are illustrated by a range of benchmark tests.
