Spatial-Frequency Learning for Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Image Enhancement

The paper introduces a spatial-frequency learning framework for enhancing Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) images. It employs a spatial-frequency fusion network that separately enhances features in the spatial and frequency domains before fusing them, leveraging periodic atomic arrangements in the frequency domain and local atomic details in the spatial domain. Additionally, the authors present a STEM noise calibration method to synthesize realistic images, creating a diverse dataset that improves performance on synthetic and real advanced material images, including better atomic localization accuracy.

Context-Aware Deep Learning for Defect Classification in Atomic-Resolution STEM

arXiv:2606. 09419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing materials characterization, yet most applications in electron microscopy rely solely on image contrast, overlooking the chemical and experimental context that shapes image formation.

STEMGym: Benchmarking Sequential Decision-Making under Dose Budgets in Autonomous Electron Microscopy

A central premise of autonomous scientific imaging is that smarter navigation, whether Bayesian, RL-based, or otherwise adaptive, is the principal lever for sample-efficient acquisition. We present evidence to the contrary in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), an atomic-resolution imaging modality whose every measurement deposits damaging electron dose.
