SPMimages is an initiative to provide the Scanning Probe Microscopy community with a place to store, share, and search for high-resolution Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) images, with a particular focus on molecular systems studied with functionalized tips. This web-based data base aims to contribute to the development of SPM as a tool for the characterization and chemical identification of molecular systems. The platform currently supports the contribution of both experimental and theoretical images using the formats of most major vendors, and allows searches using multiple parameters. The final goal is to include machine learning tools in the web server in order to help users with data mining and analysis of the information stored in the data base.
These contributions can be shared with the whole community or restricted to particular users using their emails during the upload process.
This project has been developed by a partnership between the SPM Theory and Nanomechanics Group (SPMTH, www.uam.es/spmth) at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and Quasar Scientific Resources SL (www.quasarsr.com), with financial support fromthe Madrid Regional Government under project IND2017-IND-7793.
