Electron Microscopic Spectral Imaging Analysis Based on Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
Abstract
With the development of microscopy technologies, the size of datasets to be analyzed in materials science has been rapidly increasing. Against such a large size of datasets, machine learning technologies have been becoming more important. An example of such a measurement is scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with comprehensive electron energy-loss (EELS) or energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Spectrometers in this equipment collect a set of spectra, which called spectral imaging (SI), each from the sub-nanometer area of the sample by the fine incident electron probe consecutively scanning over the two-dimensional region. An important task on SI data analysis is to automatically identify basis spectra and spatial distributions of chemical components on a specimen. This talk introduces our developed nonnegative matrix factorization to analyze SI data and demonstrate our analysis results of real SI datasets.
