Current control approach to study spatially resolved nucleation (a) AFM topography of LICGC before bias sweeps (b) AFM topography measured after the bias sweeps from 0 V to −4.2 V using a compliance of −10 pA and a 25 nm pixel resolution, (c) map of current value at the end of sweep (note that there is occasionally a single point jump that exceeds the compliance value) (d) bias at which cutoff is achieved and (e) height change maps (ΔZ) obtained from the nucleation potential/height measurement at each location.
