The rough surface is characterized by the rms roughness sigma , the height-height correlation length xi , and the roughness exponent h. The value for sigma is in excellent agreement with that deduced from reflectivity. The significance of the parameters sigma , xi , and h is tested by comparison with the results obtained from scanning force mircoscopy. ©1992 The American Physical Society URL: http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v46/p7953 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.46.7953 PACS: 68.55.-a, 61.10.-i ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Add to article collection View Page Images or PDF (640 kB) [ Previous article | Next article | Issue 12 contents ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References (Reference links marked with dot may require a separate subscription.) 1.
