Abstract

The “hook effect” observed in the Warren-Averbach analysis of X-ray diffraction peaks from multiple layer thin films of copper has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. The strengths of the “hook effect” for films of different layer thicknesses were analyzed. The results showed definite correlation between the strengths of the “hook effect” and the grain size distributions in 1, 4, and 19-layer copper films.
