What are the parameters I need to know apart from 2theta vs intensity graph?already done the xrd of the thin film .
Dear for this analysis you should have the following data
XRD data
a, b, c values
x, y, z values
phase group geometry
point group knowledge
Reitveld refinement can be performed on a high resolution XRD data.
such as FULLPROF, or TOPAZ., these are specialised softwares for doing reitveld rfinement.
See the following paper to get some idea

I must say you will many more papers which have dealt with the reitveld refinement of XRD data on PZT ceramics and thin films.

Dear Fahad,
Have you confirmed about the deposition or coating of multilayer PZT?? Because after following the below article and your XRD data, I am confused whether PZT is formed properly or not as the later contains more reflections. Moreover, your XRD data is no noisy, I hope you need to run in a very slow scan to reveal the peaks related to the PZT. Then go for Rietveld refinement. The parameters you need to carry out are space group of PZT, a, b, c values(lattice parameters), x, y, z (atomic positions), instrument file.,
