RIMAPS Studies on Structured Copper Foils

Abstract

It is known that RIMAPS (Rotated Image with Maximum Average Power Spectrum) technique allows finding the main directions of any surface topography and describing it by simple geometrical figures. The maxima of the RIMAPS spectrum indicate main directions and the arrangement of the elements that constitute the surface. RIMAPS has previously been used in several fields, such as materials science and biology. In this opportunity, the objective was to apply RIMAPS to analyze the micro-nanostructured surface of copper foils which were manufactured via an electrolytic plating route.
