Paper Abstract
Surface roughness of a fine metallic film. i.e.. mirror finished. has been determined by
a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). The mean value o the roughness is measured
based on STM images of a three dimensional line plot of the surface profile. The
technique is found capable of determining the roughness in a nanoscopic scale, lO m.
Such technique is used in the present work to measure the roughness of various thin
films ( 1 5 tm) in amorphous and crystalline structures.
