This paper analyzes the three-dimensional (3D) surface texture of amorphous hydrogenated carbon films with sputtered iron nanoparticles (FeNPs@a-C:H) deposited by a radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method on the quartz substrates. The prepared FeNPs@a-C:H films were used as...
