We have studied the kinetic surface roughening of nickel films sputter-deposited on ITO glasses
within a temperature range from 423 K to 573 K. The scaling exponents were determined by the surface
measurements of AFM and compared with theoretical values in the surface diffusion-driven growth
model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
