Abstract
The reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) method has been used for the investigation of Au cluster growth on KCl substrate. The formation of three-dimensional particles was observed. The morphological parameters of the particles (i.e. diameter and density) were estimated ex-situ by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the results were compared with the RHEED spot profiles. Au particles were chosen, because they did not change their parameters by the reconstruction caused by oxidation during the preparation for TEM measurements.
