- 适用于多种材料和成像模式,适合材料发现与性能优化研究者
组合材料库是快速生成大量候选成分的有效途径,但其影响常受限于表征速度与深度,以及从复杂数据中提取可行动的结构-性能关系的难度。本文开发了一种自主扫描探针显微镜(SPM)框架,集成自动原子力显微镜与磁力显微镜(AFM/MFM),快速探测组合梯度库中的磁性与结构特性。为实现无明确优化目标系统的自动化探索,引入静态物理启发的特征袋(BoF)表示与多目标贝叶斯优化(MOBO),以发现特征的相对重要性与鲁棒性。闭环流程选择性采样成分梯度,并重建与密集网格‘真实值’测量一致的特征景观。所得帕累托前沿揭示了多个纳米尺度目标同时优化的位置,识别出粗糙度、相干性与磁对比度不可避免的权衡,并显示不同成分集群进入特定功能区。该方法将多特征成像数据转化为可解释的冲突结构-性能趋势图。尽管在Au-Co-Ni与AFM/MFM上验证,该方法具通用性,可扩展至其他组合体系、成像模态与特征集,展示基于特征的MOBO与自主SPM如何将显微图像从静态数据转为实时多目标材料发现的主动反馈。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Combinatorial materials libraries are an efficient route to generate large families of candidate compositions, but their impact is often limited by the speed and depth of characterization and by the difficulty of extracting actionable structure-property relations from complex characterization data. Here we develop an autonomous scanning probe microscopy (SPM) framework that integrates automated atomic force and magnetic force microscopy (AFM/MFM) to rapidly explore magnetic and structural properties across combinatorial spread libraries. To enable automated exploration of systems without a clear optimization target, we introduce a combination of a static physics-informed bag-of-features (BoF) representation of measured surface morphology and magnetic structure with multi-objective Bayesian optimization (MOBO) to discover the relative significance and robustness of features. The resulting closed-loop workflow selectively samples the compositional gradient and reconstructs feature landscapes consistent with dense grid "ground truth" measurements. The resulting Pareto structure reveals where multiple nanoscale objectives are simultaneously optimized, where trade-offs between roughness, coherence, and magnetic contrast are unavoidable, and how families of compositions cluster into distinct functional regimes, thereby turning multi-feature imaging data into interpretable maps of competing structure-property trends. While demonstrated for Au-Co-Ni and AFM/MFM, the approach is general and can be extended to other combinatorial systems, imaging modalities, and feature sets, illustrating how feature-based MOBO and autonomous SPM can transform microscopy images from static data products into active feedback for real-time, multi-objective materials discovery.
