Substrate Effeci’s on the Surface Topography of Eva~~~d Gold Films - a Scanning Knelling Microscopy Investigation
Direct observation of surface roughness on metal films is a longstanding problem in thin film characte~tion. In this work the high quality of scanning tunnelhng microscopy (STM) was used for investigation of evaporated gold films. A scanning tunnel&g microscope able to scan areas up to 0.8 x 0.8 pm with high reproducibility is presented. The topography of 80 nm thick gold films grown under iden...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Evaporated Gold Films. Hard Substrate Effect Correction
Nanoindentation tests using the Berkovich indenter tip were performed on 50 and 200 nm thick polycrystalline gold films deposited on hard substrates. Gold film hardness increased with the indentation depth due to the influence of the substrate. A procedure based on the Joslin-Oliver method was introduced to correct for the substrate effect. The method utilizes the fact that the measured elastic...
متن کاملSpin-polarized Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy of Ultrathin Films
Using low temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy we have studied the morphology and magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe(0.5 ML)Au(0.5 ML) nanowires prepared on a Mo(110) single crystal. The Fe nanostripes grown by step flow on a Mo(110) at 700 K were covered by Au at RT, and subsequently annealed at 700 K. Differences in the morphology of Au on Fe(110)/Mo(110) and clean Mo(110...
متن کاملSurface topography of stenotic aortic valves by scanning electron microscopy.
Surface features of 19 stenotic aortic valves from patients undergoing valve replacement were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Villi, prominent on five valves, were distributed either singularly or in clusters and differed in shape. Endothelial cells had microvilli and bulbous surface projections. Endothelial disruption with a focal loss of endothelial cells was uniformly observed...
متن کاملScanning tunnelling microscopy of suspended graphene.
Suspended graphene has been studied by STM for the first time. Atomic resolution on mono- and bi-layer graphene samples has been obtained after ridding the graphene surface of contamination via high-temperature annealing. Static local corrugations (ripples) have been observed on both types of structures.
