Therefore, d e s p i t e of t h e system anisotropy, it is j u s t i f i e d t o use formula ( 3 ) f o r each p o l a r i z a t i o n . Moreover, when we a r e working a t r e l a t i v e l y low temperatures, we can assume only s m a l l d e v i a t i o n s from t h e gaussian d i s t r i b u t i o n . Thus, we determine t h e v a r i a t i o n of t h e Debye-Waller f a c t o r between two temperatures by t h e r a t i o method. For each p o l a r i z a t i o n

We do not need any b a c k s c a t t e r i n g amplitudes and phase s h i f t s determined on a model compound with t h e well known quest ion of t r a n s f e r a b i l i t y o f amplitudes and phase s h i f t s .

The experimental study was done f o r one mcinolayer of c o b a l t adsorbed on t h e 11) face o f c o p p e r ( 1 2 ) . Why have we chosen t h i s system ? The f i r s t reason is t h a t is a w e l l known system : s t u d i e s by LEED and Auger spectroscopy 3, have shown t h a t c o b a l t grows l a e r by l a y e r a t room temperature. ( I n a previous p a r t of t h i s SEXAFS i n v e s t i g a t i o n '12) we have confirmed t h e two dimensional c h a r a c t e r of t h e monolayer o f c o b a l t ) . The second reason was t o choose metals with Debye temperatures j u s t above room temperature. I n t h a t case t h e thermal damping o f EXAFS o s c i l l a t i o n s is a p p r e c i a b l e a t room temperature but is is n e v e r t h e l e s s reasonable t o use t h e harmonic approximation up t o t h i s temperature. The t h i r d reason i s t h a t t h e bulk e l a s t i c p r o p e r t i e s of t h e s e metals a r e w e l l known. A t l e a s t , t h e (111) f a c e o f a face centered cubic metal is a dense f a c e and then, t h e r a t i o between t h e EXAFS s i g n a l due t o t h e adsorbate-adsorbate d i s t a n c e and t h e a d s o r b a t e s u b s t r a t e d i s t a n c e is 911.5 when the p o l a r i z a t i o n of t h e l i g h t is p a r a l l e l t o t h e s u r f a c e and about 1/9 when i t is a t 7 5 O from t h e s u r f a c e . Thus i t i s a system i n which t h e two c o n t r i b u t i o n s a r e well separated.
