Abstract The surface of silicon/carbon matrix amorphous films containing nanosized platinum particles has been studied by scanning probe microscopy. The film surface as imaged by atomic force microscopy has random roughness sized less than 1 nm whereas the surface image obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy shows densely packed hemispheric features several decades of nanometers in diameter and several nanometers in height. We assume that platinum particles are distributed regularly during film synthesis.
