Can anyone kindly explain what are the standard deviations in the roughness? And how to extract data using correlation lengths or pair correlation functions, usually calculated in typical AFM software (NT-MDT, NTEGRA MoDEL,NOVA Software)?
Have a look at the following book by Yiping Zhao: Characterization of amorphous and crystalline rough surface principles and applications
It is an excellent review on surface characterization using realspace and reciprocal space methods. Alternatively you can also try to find her papers on the same topic.
