Self-affine fractal electrodeposited gold surfaces : Characterization by scanning tunneling microscopy

The morphological evolution of columnar gold electrodeposits grown at 100 nm s <sup>−1</sup> by electroreducing a gold oxide layer on a gold cathode has been studied at a nanometer level by scanning tunneling microscopy. The interface thickness (ξ) depends on the scan length (L) as ξ∝ L...

description The morphological evolution of columnar gold electrodeposits grown at 100 nm s <sup>−1</sup> by electroreducing a gold oxide layer on a gold cathode has been studied at a nanometer level by scanning tunneling microscopy. The interface thickness (ξ) depends on the scan length (L) as ξ∝ L <sup>α</sup> with α=0.49±0.07 for L > d<sub>s</sub>, where d<sub>s</sub> is the average top columnar size, and α=0.90±0.07 for L < d<sub>s</sub>. These results prove that the growing surface can be described as a self-affine fractal for length scales greater than the columnar size. Conversely, the columnar surface approaches the behavior of an Euclidean surface.
