It is demonstrated that both methods permit the determination of power spectral density functions in a wide range of spatial frequencies. The results are in good quantitative agreement.enatomic force microscopysurface roughnessthin filmsx-ray scattering620535Comparative study of the roughness of optical surfaces and thin films by x-ray scattering and atomic force microscopyjournal article
