Abstract
Surface techniques under UHV conditions have been applied to the study of the Si-Au-Ag interface. The gold layer induces strong structural modifications : some silicon atoms diffuse into the silver layer which is found amorphous. This is in contrast with the non diffusive Si-Ag interface where ordered structures are observed.
