Abstract

We report in situ Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS), performed on self-organized $\chem{Co/Au(111)}$ deposits during growth. The surface reciprocal space associated with the dots periodicity ( $\sim 10\un{nm}$ ) is investigated. The quantitative combination of GISAXS and STM yields non-destructive information about buried layers. For $\chem{Co/Au(111)}$ , a periodic interfacial microstructure persists even after the film free-surface smoothing is observed.
