49. In this case, the sample surface is not necessarily flat, although a flatter surface is better to evaluate step heights. However, if a strong etchant was used, the thin films with a flatter surface were sometimes so corrosive and a part of the film was broken up. In addition, it was experimentally easy to prepare the thick films for the iPP used. Thus, we here used the iPP thick films. The same experiment was also performed for the 170 nm thick film, and the result was in agreement with that in the thick film within our experimental accuracy.

52. The measurement was also made on the 170 nm thick film, and the result was in good accordance with the data shown in Fig. 5.

58. We also examined surface relaxation behavior in an iPP film with 2.7 nm thick surface amorphous layer. In this case, surface relaxation temperature was the same as that for the iPP film with 3.3 nm thick surface layer.
