Abstract

We have investigated structural and elastic properties of Hf/Zr multilayer thin films by x-ray diffraction and transient piezoreflectance measurements. Similar structural and elastic behaviors have been observed in two series of samples grown at different deposition rates (1 – 10Å/sec). Our measurements suggest different (˜ 10%) effective elastic constants between multilayers with coherent and incoherent interfaces.
