Regularities of the Formation of Fractal Structures on the Surface of Metallic Films of Different Thicknesses

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The surface morphology of nanosized copper and nickel films on mica has been studied on a scanning tunneling microscope. The height parameters and fractal dimension of the copper and nickel films of different thicknesses have been determined. Characteristic sizes of structural agglomerates for the copper and nickel films as functions of their thickness are reported. The choice of film thickness and synthesis conditions makes it possible to formulate recommendations for the development of technology for growing structures with a specified surface morphology.
