Abstract
Microstructural studies have been made on a series of evaporated and sputtered silver films vacuum annealed at temperatures up to 250°C. The films were nondestructively removed from fused quartz substrates. The changes in microstructure with annealing have been correlated with changes in topography and scattering reported in Part 1 [ J. M. Bennett, et al., Appl. Opt. 24, 2701 ( 1985)]. Mechanisms are suggested to explain the microstructural changes.
