Fourier transformations are used to compare with equilibrium phenomena, and lead to a correlation model with an associated roughness spectrum of analytic form. ©1993 The American Physical Society URL: http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v48/p14472 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.48.14472 PACS: 68.55.Jk, 64.60.-i, 68.90.+g, 68.60.Wm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Add to article collection View Page Images or PDF (1299 kB) [ Previous article | Next article | Issue 19 contents ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References (Reference links marked with dot may require a separate subscription.) 1.
