Figure 6

Comparisons between simulated |E|2 distributions and the damage morphologies of nodules prepared via IAD. (a1–a4) FDTD-simulated S-polarized |E|2 distributions for which white lines represent film stacks and the color scale is different for different nodules. (b1–b4) Damage morphologies that almost exactly reproduce the FDTD-simulated S-polarized |E|2 distributions. FDTD, finite-difference time-domain; IAD, ion-assisted deposition.
