Abstract

Scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopies (STM/nc-AFM) are rapidly progressing to offer unprecedented spatial resolution of a diverse array of chemical species. In particular, they are employed to characterize on-surface chemical reactions by directly examining precursors and products. Chiral effects and self-assembled structures can also be investigated. This open source, modular, python based scheme automates the categorization of a variety of molecules present in medium sized (1010 to 100100 nm) scanned probe images.
