We present an advanced image analysis study of the 3D surfaces of silver/diamond-like carbon nanocomposite films prepared by radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition. Atomic force microscopy data were analysed, with the goal to provide image analysis tools allowing for a better und...
