| contents | Isolating the features associated with different materials growth conditions is important to facilitate the tuning of these conditions for effective materials growth and characterization. This study presents machine learning models for classifying atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of thin film MoS$_2$ based on their growth temperatures. By employing nine different algorithms and leveraging transfer learning through a pretrained ResNet model, we identify an effective approach for accurately discerning the characteristics related to growth temperature within the AFM micrographs. Robust models with up to 70% test accuracies were obtained, with the best performing algorithm being an end-to-end ResNet fine-tuned on our image domain. Class activation maps and occlusion attribution reveal that crystal quality and domain boundaries play crucial roles in classification, with models exhibiting the ability to identify latent features beyond human visual perception. Overall, the models demonstrated high accuracy in identifying thin films grown at different temperatures despite limited and imbalanced training data as well as variation in growth parameters besides temperature, showing that our models and training protocols are suitable for this and similar predictive tasks for accelerated 2D materials characterization. |
