Characterization of Atomically Smooth Al Films by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomically smooth Al films were prepared by vacuum evaporation on heated mica substrates at 350°C. The films consist of single crystals 270 nm in diameter with (111) faces and the crystals are oriented randomly about the [111] direction which is perpendicular to the substrate. The roughness of the A...

Zusammenfassung:Atomically smooth Al films were prepared by vacuum evaporation on heated mica substrates at 350°C. The films consist of single crystals 270 nm in diameter with (111) faces and the crystals are oriented randomly about the [111] direction which is perpendicular to the substrate. The roughness of the Al film surfaces is 0.6 nm over 1 × 1 μm areas.
