EELS and AES have been used to monitor the formation of Rh films on ZrO2(100) single crystalline substrates. Rhodium was evaporated step by at various substrate temperatures. The surface morphology of the deposited material influence EELS spectra, so that the relative metal coverage of the substrate can be calculed. The EELS and AES results were compared and the conclusions concerning the deposit morphology were verified by means of transmission electron microscopy.
