AFM for Nano-Surface Texture/Roughness

 

Surface/Area Roughness Calculations

Surface and area roughness parameters are meant to help quantify the surface texture of a material. Initially such parameters were used for characterizing machined surfaces;  now they are used for characterizing all types of high technology and nanomaterials.
Note: An excellent resource for the definitions of surface roughness parameters can be found on the web at the URL: www.predev.com/smg/parameters.htm
