Interoffice Memo: Liguore Labs
To: Nanosurface Engineering Team
From: Kerry Prior, Vice President of Research
RE: Surface roughness
Liguore Labs is very interested in the innovations of biomedical
science. New research pertaining to coatings of artificial hip
replacements could represent a new venture for our company. Recently a
physicist from University of Alabama, Birmingham named Dr. Yogesh
Vohra accidentally produced smooth diamond. When making synthetic
diamond crystals in a laboratory, the gas reactor sprang a small leak
and let air into the mixture. Nitrogen from the air reacted with the
carbon of the diamond. The array of diamond created was smooth and
adhered very easily to metal. Because diamond is durable, it makes a
very good candidate for coating artificial hip replacements. The
current coatings wear down or loosen from constant use after about 10
years, which could mean more surgery for the recipient. The diamond
coating is projected to last around 40 years which would improve the
comfort and health of the patient.
Liguore Laboratories would like to expand our product line to include
diamond coatings for hip joints. The research laboratory is working on
replicating the smooth diamonds. In order for the scientists to know
if their process is working, they will need a procedure that will
measure the roughness of the diamond in nanoscale.
Since we have experience with gold coatings and have many images
available, we can use these images to develop our procedure. Attached
are three atomic force microscope (AFM) pictures of the gold we have
been using in our artery stent research. Your team needs to create a
procedure using these images to measure (or quantify) the roughness of
the gold at the nanoscale and generate a description of how the
process would work by applying the procedure to the three AFM pictures
of gold. With this procedure in place, our research team will be able
to measure the roughness of the diamond samples as they are produced.
Please reply in a memo with the following information:
*
The series of steps that can be used to measure roughness of the
nanoscale material using the AFM images.
*
A description of how the procedure would work by applying it to
gold samples A, B, and C that are attached to this memo.
*
A description of what information your team would need in order to
improve your procedure to quantify the roughness of the gold.
Thank you for your team’s efforts in this endeavor. The expansion of
our product line is an important venture for Liguore Laboratories. I
appreciate your prompt attention to this assignment.

Attached: AFM images
Background Information: The two images on this page are images of
smooth diamond from Dr. Vohra’s lab. The first image is a top-view
image of the diamond. The other image is a 3-dimensional side-view of
the same sample. The bar on the right indicates the height of the
diamond surface.

Remember that:
μm stands for micrometers (1 μm = 10-6 m)
nm stands for nanometers (1 nm = 10-9 m)
Å stands for Angstroms (1 Å = 10-10 m)

AFM Images: The three images (Samples A, B, and C) are top-view images
of gold. The colorbar on the right indicates the height of the gold
surface. (AFM data courtesy of Purdue Nanoscale Physics Lab)
