Enthalpy of Vaporisation:

the change in enthalpy for the conversion a liquid to a vapor (gas), at constant pressure and temperature.

Enthalpy of Atomisation:

The standard molar enthalpy of atomisation of a substance is the amount of heat evolved / absorbed when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed form the element under standard conditions.

vapourisation does not necessary produce atoms.
