Abstract:
Point defects in quantum materials, once regarded as imperfections, are now recognized as central players in shaping electronic properties. They can scatter quasiparticles, modify local order, and in some cases host entirely new states of matter. Scanning tunneling microscopy provides a uniquely powerful window into these effects, combining atomic-scale spatial resolution with spectroscopic access to electronic structure. Yet in practice, the contributions of different defect types are typically entangled, obscuring their individual roles.
