How surface topography relates to materials' properties.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The topography of a surface is known to substantially affect the bulk properties of a material. Despite the often nanoscale nature of the surface undulations, the influence they have may be observed by macroscopic measurements. This review explores many of the areas in which the effect of topography is macroscopically relevant, as well as introducing some recent developments in topographic analysis and control.

Bedform Effect on the Reorganization of Surface and Subsurface Grain Size Distribution in Gravel Bedded Channels
Quantification of river bedform variability and complexity is important for sediment transport modeling as well as for characterization of river morphology. Alluvial bedforms are shown to exhibit highly nonlinear dynamics across a range of scales, affect local bed roughness, and vary with local hydraulic, hydrologic, and geomorphic properties. This paper examines sediment sorting on the crest a...
متن کاملApplication of Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Mode Microscopy on inscription from Proto-Elamite period in Tappeh Sofalin
The study of cultural heritage artifacts and the research of a protection and restoration intervention create with - and are often limited to - a complete characterization of their surface. This is not only factual for museum objects, but also for archaeological artifacts, because the object as it was discovered may contain precious unknown information that could be lost by too much aggressive ...

متن کاملEffects of Surface Topography on Formation of Zig-zag Defects in Ssflc Devices
The cause for wide variations in the zig-zag defect density in SSFLC devices using the same alignment layer material is investigated. In this paper, we show how the topography of the surface layer due to imperfect coating techniques and materials promotes the formation of zig-zag defects. We show that if the alignment surface slope is greater than the pretilt, high densities of zig-zag defects ...
متن کاملIntroduction to Scanning Microwave Microscopy Application Note Introduction
Introduction Mapping materials physical properties, such as impedance, capacitance, dielectric constants, dopant density, etc., at the nanoscale is of great interest to both materials and semiconductor industries. Such mapping, however, usually is not as straightforward as topography imaging because, in many cases, these properties are related to buried structures not directly shown on the surf...
