Abstract
The surface structure of thin layers of a-C: H is studied by the method of island decoration, using silver films. The changes in the dimensions and density of silver particles is tracked by an electron microscope as a function of the thickness of the a-C: H layers. The electrical microprofile is discussed, along with the nature of the silver crystallization centers on the surface of the a-C: H layers.
