Utilizing an Open-Source Workflow for the Analysis of Atom Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Materials

In the previous decade, open-course python packages, such as Hyperspy [1], have gifted researchers in the field of electron microscopy (EM) with easy to use, well-documented, and most-importantly flexible analysis tools. Although there is a small initial barrier for those not versed in programming and scripting, the simplicity and depth of documentation of these python packages allow many to contribute to their development. The power of these programs is the ability to adapt and create code for many areas of data and image analysis. Combining python-based packages developed for EM and material science such as Hyperspy [2], RigidRegistration [3], Atomap [4], PyPrismatic [5,
