Abstract

A theoretical framework is developed to describe experiments onthe structure of epitaxial thin films, particularly niobium onsapphire. We extend the hypothesis of dynamical scaling to applyto the structure of thin films from its conventional applicationto simple surfaces. We then present a phenomenological continuumtheory that provides a good description of the observedscattering and the measured exponents. Finally the results ofexperiment and theory are compared.
