Abstract Scope |
In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows one to observe the structure of a material at unprecedented spatial resolution, while probing non-equilibrium phenomena with an external stimulus. However, with the dynamic frame rate of cameras now collecting over 1000 frames per second, an individual experiment can easily create 100,000 frames to process. While it simply isn’t feasible for a human to extrapolate metrics from this amount of information, data-driven approaches emerge to mitigate this issue. In this study, we use few-shot image classification from in situ ion beam irradiation experiments to classify the generation, mobility, and interaction of dislocation loops and stacking fault tetrahedra. Next, we use a variational autoencoder to segment Helium bubbles during a thermal anneal by training on synthetic data based on distorted circles. Ultimately, we shed light on how data-driven approaches can probe defects in time-series micrographs for nuclear materials application. |
