48. 2) 1L Cu, Au and Ag films were 120 ±5, 130 ±5 and 125±5 nm respectively. So the total thickness value (370± 10 nm) of the 3L film matches well with the sum of thickness values of individual 1L films.

50. As Vegard's law is additive in nature and Au and Ag posses similar lattice parameters, we have calculated the alloy composition considering Au and Ag together as a single element.
51. 2+ ions in the film up to the heat-treatment temperature of 450 °C in air, it can easily be migrated towards the film surface and finally escaped out of the film. For this reason the intensity of Cu-SP band also appears weak (Fig. 3(b)).
