46. The difference of the fitted sample sizes from the actual values probably comes from the boundary roughness and the surface oxide layer. A similar effect has been seen previously for the thickness of Al films [see T. Wada, S. Haraichi, K. Ishii, H. Hiroshima, M. Komuro, and S. M. Gorwadkar, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A JVTAD6 0734-2101 10.1116/1.581163 16, 1430 (1998)].
