42. In P. Bruno, Eur. Phys. J. B EPJBFY 1434-6028 10.1007/s100510050919 11, 83 (1999) an extension to the asymptotic expansion [Eq. 4] for the ultrathin limit of the spacer thickness is given. However, we have demonstrated in earlier experimental works that at least the wave numbers and the phase shifts are valid in the range of dCu =2-9 ML. Furthermore, we see that the comparison of our model calculation shown in Fig. 8 is in fair agreement with the experimental data points. Therefore, we do not apply the extended model in the present study.
