Title: Off-specular reflectivity study of sputter-deposition of platinum during growth

Conference ·
OSTI ID:196554

A series of off-specular diffuse scattering measurements were performed by scanning the detector arm parallel to the sample surface during growth of platinum films on polished silicon substrates. During early stage of growth, we observe a halo of diffuse scattering around the specular reflection which is similar to Henzler`s ring. A model of random islands was developed to explain the halo of diffuse scattering. During late growth, the film surface was consistent with partially self-affine surface.
