Overcoming Labelled Data Scarcity for Defect Classification in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
Nikola L. Kolev, Max Trouton, Filippo Federici Canova +4
Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is a powerful technique for imaging surfaces with atomic resolution, providing insight into physical and chemical processes at the level of sin…
Strong electron-electron interactions in a dilute weakly-localized metal near a metal-to-insulator transition
Nicolò D'Anna, Jamie Bragg, Aidan G. McConnell +12
Because it is easily switched from insulator to metal either via chemical doping or electrical gating, silicon is at the core of modern information technology and remains a candida…
Generative Image Restoration and Super-Resolution using Physics-Informed Synthetic Data for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
Nikola L. Kolev, Tommaso Rodani, Neil J. Curson +2
Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) enables atomic-resolution imaging and atom manipulation, but its utility is often limited by tip degradation and slow serial data acquisition.…
Hydrogen Passivation Effects on Spatially Resolved Charge Trap Densities in Si(100)-SiO
Adam J. Czarnecki, Nikola L. Kolev, Patrick See +5
As silicon-based devices continue to shrink to the nanoscale, traps at the Si-SiO interface pose increasing challenges to device performance. These traps reduce channel carrier…
