The angle of the diffraction peak, represented as 2θ [deg], indicates the crystal orientation. The peak width at half its maximum height denoted as fwhm [deg], is related to the size of the crystallites. The height of the (002) peak, labeled H [nm], can suggest the stack’s thickness. The distance between the crystal layers, shown as d [nm], reveals the spacing within the crystal structure. The parameter “n” estimates the number of layers in the material. Finally, D [nm] refers to the size of the coherent crystalline domains.
