Multitask Scanning Probe Microscopy
Aditya Raghavan, Yu Liu, Ian Mercer +2
Scanning probe microscopy provides nanoscale access to structural, electrical, electromechanical, magnetic, and mechanical properties of materials. Its increasing use for wafer-sca…
From Closed-Loop Optimization to Open Decision Making: Coupled Digital Twins for Predictive and Autonomous Microscopy
Yu Liu, Boris Slautin, Ian Mercer +2
Automated experimentation is moving from closed-loop optimization toward open decision-making, where human or AI planners must forecast the consequences of candidate actions before…
Bayesian Co-Navigation of a Computational Physical Model and AFM Experiment to Autonomously Survey a Combinatorial Materials Library
Boris N. Slautin, Kamyar Barakati, Yu Liu +3
Building autonomous experiment workflows requires transcending beyond the data-driven surrogate models to incorporate and dynamically refine physical theory during exploration. Her…
Automated Materials Discovery Platform Realized: Scanning Probe Microscopy of Combinatorial Libraries
Yu Liu, Aditya Raghavan, Utkarsh Pratiush +13
Combinatorial materials libraries provide a powerful platform for mapping how physical properties evolve across binary and ternary cross-sections of multicomponent phase diagrams.…
Materials Discovery in Combinatorial and High-throughput Synthesis and Processing: A New Frontier for SPM
Boris N. Slautin, Yongtao Liu, Kamyar Barakati +13
For over three decades, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has been a key method for exploring material structures and functionalities at nanometer and often atomic scales in ambient,…
