42. This paper provides a detailed structural analysis using high-resolution X-ray diffraction and X-ray reflectivity of infinite layer superlattice films prepared by PLD. The analysis shows that superlattice films can be grown with structural roughness less than 3-4 Å. The strain and Poisson ratio of the layers have also been estimated from the measurements.
