Book Description
The structure of a growth or an etch front on a surface is not only a subject of great interest from the practical point of view but also is of fundamental scientific interest. Very often surfaces are created under non-equilibrium conditions such that the morphology is not always smooth.
In addition to a detailed description of the characteristics of random rough surfaces, Experimental Methods in the Physical Sciences, Volume 37, Characterization of Amorphous and Crystalline Rough Surface-Principles and Applications will focus on the basic principles of real and diffraction techniques for quantitative characterization of the rough surfaces. The book thus includes the latest development on the characterization and measurements of a wide variety of rough surfaces. The complementary nature of the real space and diffraction techniques is fully displayed.
Key Features
* An accessible description of quantitative characterization of random rough surfaces and growth/etch fronts
* A detailed description of the principles, experimentation, and limitations of advanced real-space imaging techniques (such as atomic force microscopy) and diffraction techniques (such as light scattering, X-ray diffraction, and electron diffraction)
* Characterization of a variety of rough surfaces (e.g., self-affine, mounded, anisotropic, and two-level surfaces) accompanied by quantitative examples to illustrate the essence of the principles
* An insightful description of how rough surfaces are formed
* Presentation of the most recent examples of the applications of rough surfaces in various areas
From the Back Cover
This book focuses on the basic principles of real-space imaging and diffraction techniques for quantitative characterization of the rough surfaces, following a detailed description of the characteristics of random rough surfaces. The book includes the latest development on the characterization and measurements of a wide variety of amorphous and crystalline rough surfaces. The complementary nature of the real-space and diffraction techniques is fully displayed. The book will be useful for academic researchers and industrial scientists interested in surface and interface structures and their applications in thin film growth, optical coating, plasma etching, patterning, machining, polishing, fracture, and tribology.
