Figure 6From: Atomic force microscopy investigation of the kinetic growth mechanisms of sputtered nanostructured Au film on mica: towards a nanoscale morphology control AFM image of a single Au cluster: (a) 7 μm × 7 μm AFM scan of the Au film thermally processed at 773 K-60 min, focusing, in particular, on an Au cluster; (b) 1 μm × 1 μm AFM scan of the underlaying Au film; (c) 1 μm × 1 μm AFM scan on the Au cluster, evidencing its granular structure.
