Pt/Ti metallisation bilayers are used as bottom electrodes for ferroelectric thin films. During deposition of the ferroelectric films, these electrodes are exposed to elevated temperatures causing modifications of the Pt/Ti bottom…
Thin film systems are often analysed by using sputter depth profiling. First the sample gets eroded by inert gas ion impact during sputter depth profiling. Then the elemental composition of the freshly unveiled surface is determined by…
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a reflection mode are compared as the methods for phase composition investigation of thin film oxide systems by ion profiling. As an example, the Al/Al2O3/Si…
Psychological research often involves understanding psychological constructs through conducting factor analysis on data collected by a questionnaire, which can comprise hundreds of questions. Without interactive systems for interpreting…
Plasma profiling time of flight mass spectrometry (PP-TOFMS) has recently gained interest, as it enables the elemental profiling of semiconductor structures with high depth resolution in short acquisition times. As recently shown by Tempez…
Application of the so called mxing-roughness-information depth (MRI)-model to the quantitative reconstruction of the in-depth distribution of composition is demonstrated by comparing SIMS and AES depth profiles. A GaAs/AlAs reference sample…
Electron and scanning probe microscopy produce vast amounts of data in the form of images or hyperspectral data, such as EELS or 4D STEM, that contain information on a wide range of structural, physical, and chemical properties of…
In order to achieve state-of-the-art performance, modern machine learning techniques require careful data pre-processing and hyperparameter tuning. Moreover, given the ever increasing number of machine learning models being developed, model…

Modern high-resolution microscopes, such as the scanning tunneling microscope, are commonly used to study specimens that have dense and aperiodic spatial structure. Extracting meaningful information from images obtained from such…
High-dimensional data are crucial in biomedical research. Integrating such data from multiple studies is a critical process that relies on the choice of advanced statistical models, enhancing statistical power, reproducibility, and…
Screening methods are useful tools for variable selection in regression analysis when the number of predictors is much larger than the sample size. Factor analysis is used to eliminate multicollinearity among predictors, which improves the…
The overall quality of multilayer thin films prepared by electrodeposition is strongly influenced by the surface and interface roughness which increases with the layer number. For that very reason the reliable analysis of the first few…
