Dependence of the atomic structure and surface relief of platinum foils on the annealing and rolling conditions

Scattering of light on rippled surfaces

“…Figure 1b shows a similar pattern of the AA surface relief recorded by the STM method. Such surface reliefs are characteris tic of the fractal structures [3]. In our case, the relief fractality is anisotropic.…”

“…The principles of the procedure for the fabrication of thin platinum foils with atomic smooth Pt(111) surfaces and fractal rippled relief are described in [2,3,6]. We used platinum foil strips 30 × 4 × (0.02-0.06) mm in size in this study.…”

“…Fractal nanostructures and microstructures on sur faces of thin foils of platinum and ribbons of the iron based Fe 77 Ni 1 Si 9 B 13 amorphous alloy (AA) are described in [2,3,[5][6][7][8]. The authors of [2,5,7] inves tigated the surfaces with a unidirectional rippled sur face relief of Pt(111) foils and AA ribbons.…”

“…are formed by the effect of the laser radiation, ion bombardment, application of the mechanical load, and using electro chemical technologies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. These structures are interesting for using in optics, fracture and deforma tion physics, mechanics of continuous media, and in heterocatalysis.…”

The possibility of using platinum foils with a rippled surface as diffraction gratings

“…Microscopic and nanodimensional structures, including those with a fractal character, can be formed on the surface of metals, semiconductors, amorphous alloys, and other materials under the action of laser radiation, ion bombardment, and mechanical loading and by electrochemical methods [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. These struc tures play an important role in optical phenomena, the physics of strength and deformation, the mechanics of continuous media, and heterogeneous catalysis.…”
