  • Artificial Intelligence Driven Automated Atomic Manipulation
    Publication number: 20230351579
    Abstract: Typical atomic manipulation techniques require long fabrication times and are not readily scalable due to necessary input from an operator. A method and system for performing automated atomic manipulation is described. The method includes obtaining an image of an atomic manipulation surface for fabricating an atomic structure thereon. A processor performs image processing and determines a movable elements, and defects, in the image of the atomic manipulation surface. The processor further determines respective positions of each of the movable elements, and forbidden regions of the atomic manipulation surface, each forbidden region determined from the determined defects. A fabrication design plan is then determined from the positions of the movable elements, and forbidden regions.

  • Borophenes, boron layer allotropes and methods of preparation
    Patent number: 10829381
    Abstract: A method of preparing an atomically-dimensioned elemental boron allotrope includes providing a substrate at a temperature greater than about 200° C.; generating elemental boron vapor from a solid elemental boron source; and contacting said substrate with said boron vapor for at least one of a rate and at a pressure sufficient to deposit on said substrate a boron allotrope comprising an elemental boron layer comprising a boron atomic thickness dimension, said method under negative pressure.
