The general workflow of the autonomous experiment performed with a scanning tunneling microscope. The data presented focuses on directing an ultra-sharp metal probe across a given area for point STS acquisition, where both filled and empty states of the sample are examined. After a completed experiment, hyperspectral volume is output from the software and a myriad of substrate and defect classes can be identified, with a trained model, and provided without cognitive bias. The method enables an optimized CITS measurement with predictive capability that was previously inaccessible due to time and tool constraints.
