The analysed data were obtained with a stylus profiler with an estimated resolution lateral resolution of $l_c=0.3 \\mu$m. Both real two-point correlation function and power spectrum analyses were done. We found that the GDST applied to the surface power spectra foresees faceted morphology in contrast with the self-affine surface indicated by the local roughness exponent found via the height-height correlation function. This inconsistency is explained in terms of convolution effects resulting from the finite size of the probe tip used to scan the surfaces. High resolution AFM images corroborates the predictions of GDST.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2011-05-17T10:43:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "epitaxial growth", "semiconductor films", "faceted anomalous scaling", "power spectrum", "high resolution afm images corroborates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "EPL (Europhysics Letters)", "year": 2011, "month": "Jun", "volume": 94, "number": 6, "pages": 68002 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011EL.....9468002N" } } }
