Parameters of the rough surface (for electromagnetic scattering)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on labeling statistical parameters for electromagnetic scattering by rough surfaces, specifically the standard deviation (σ) and correlation length (lc). The user seeks guidance on how to visually represent these parameters in a schematic figure for a manuscript. It is established that σ can be depicted as a vertical error bar, while lc should be represented as a horizontal bar. Relevant literature, including a paper on electromagnetic scattering from rough surfaces, is provided for further reference.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic scattering principles
  • Familiarity with statistical parameters in surface roughness
  • Experience with schematic figure creation in scientific manuscripts
  • Knowledge of the Kirchhoff approximation in high-frequency limits
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the paper "Electromagnetic scattering from rough surfaces with the first- and second-order Kirchhoff approximation in high-frequency limit"
  • Learn about the statistical representation of surface roughness parameters
  • Explore methods for visualizing error bars in scientific figures
  • Investigate additional resources on electromagnetic scattering and surface characterization
USEFUL FOR

Researchers and authors in the fields of electromagnetic theory, surface physics, and materials science, particularly those involved in manuscript preparation and visualization of statistical data related to surface roughness.

Dear friends,
I will be grateful if anyone can help me
I study electromagnetic scattering by rough surfaces for a certain case. Each rough surface can be specified with the statistical parameters sigma (σ) and correlation length (lc). while writing my manuscript I drew a schematic representation of a rough surface. one of the reviewers asked me to label these parameters (σ and lc) on the figure. I can't understand how to label these parameters on the figure as they are just statistical parameters that control the surface roughness level. so, can anyone explain to me how to label the statistical parameters of the rough surface?
