Surfaces in nature and engineering are often rough across many length scales, with self-affine scaling of heights. There is presently no unifying theory for the origin of roughness and self-affinity. One likely contributor is plastic deformation. In this work, the link between plastic deformation and self-affine roughness is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Three different materials are considered, single-crystal Au, the High Entropy Alloy Ni36.67Co30Fe16.67Ti16.67, and amorphous Cu50Zr50. Bi-axial compression of initially atomically flat surfaces of these materials is simulated. A self-affine topography emerges in all cases during plastic deformation, despite differences in composition, structure, and deformation mechanisms. Moreover, it is shown that non-affine displacements in the bulk scale self-affinely as well. The results indicate that self-affinity of plastic deformation is sufficient to explain the emergence of self-affine surface roughness.
