Summary

We discuss how ASAT has the potential to make important advances on critical frontiers in crystallography. These key frontiers include unequivocal quantification of the nearest-neighbour relationships in materials, compositional information, and details of the degree of both short-range order and long-range order. Interfaces represent a particular opportunity. We discuss the present challenges in experimental microscopy-based methods to incorporate both the structural crystallographic information at crystal interfaces with the local chemical compositional information. We anticipate that ASAT will drive forward the field of interface science and interface engineering.
