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…
An Automated Magnetron Sputtering Chamber for Ferroelectric Thin Film Deposition
Stanislav A. Udovenko, Ian Mercer, Sarah Olandt +5
Optimization of next-generation materials synthesis and manufacturing processes can be accelerated by effective use of digital datasets. However, a majority of existing custom rese…
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…
Ferroelectric dynamic-field-driven nucleation and growth model for predictive materials-to-circuit co-design
Yi Liang, Soohyeon Kim, Tony Chiang +8
Real ferroelectric devices operate under mixed and distorted time-varying voltages, yet the standard nucleation-growth frameworks used to interpret ferroelectric switching - most n…
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.…
Material-Limited Switching in Nanoscale Ferroelectrics
Tony Chiang, John J. Plombon, Megan K. Lenox +8
The ferroelectric switching speed has been experimentally obfuscated by the interaction between the measurement circuit and the ferroelectric switching itself. This has prohibited…
