4. The flux of our Pt source has been calibrated by growing submonolayer films and quantitative evaluation of areas of Pt islands and of the residual Ru substrate.
5. The step density of Pt/Ru(0001) thin films is estimated with high precision through thermal desorption or infrared absorption spectroscopy of adsorbed CO.

11. Since the electronic part can be traced to an interference effect of electronic states within the film, it may enhance or counteract the purely geometrical corrugation. According to the large corrugations observed for our 8 ML films an enhancement seems much more likely for Pt films than a compensation effect.
