description

Based on the digitized electron micrographs, we investigate a temperature evolution of Co/C film. The simple in usage quantitative characterization of the spatial disorder for systems of point objects has been employed. We show that a dominant increase of spatial inhomogeneity of cobalt phase is shifted towards the larger length scales along the sample heating temperature. The results allow the subtle differences of spatial inhomogeneity in thin metallic films to be explored.
