Stochastic Analysis and Regeneration of Rough Surfaces
arXiv:cond-mat/0312455 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.91.226101
Abstract
We investigate Markov property of rough surfaces. Using stochastic analysis we characterize the complexity of the surface roughness by means of a Fokker-Planck or Langevin equation. The obtained Langevin equation enables us to regenerate surfaces with similar statistical properties compared with the observed morphology by atomic force microscopy.
