12. (2) values also had larger rocking curve widths. If one assumes the rocking curve was dominated by grain size (usually determined by the θ-2θ width), one might conclude that any enhancements come from a surface mechanism. However, in both our case and theirs, dense films are being studied where the variation in material properties in passing from grain to grain are minimal, suggesting a small surface contribution.
