Applications to the bulk ceramics and multilayer thin films of the complex ybco system will be presented.
For tem samples this technique has been used successfully to limit ion milling times to less than 15 minutes and in some cases has eliminated the need for ion milling.
And preferential removal of weak ceramic phases during polishing steps makes specimen preparation almost impossible.
