Two activities of our group concerning structures on mesoscopic length
scales are presented: (1) CoSi2 layers buried in Si-wafers have been
studied with many scattering geometries; the emphasis is on diffuse sc
attering from rough interfaces and diffuse scattering from atomic scal
e defects. (2) The other example is an investigation of laterally stru
ctured surfaces in the region of total external reflection and around
Bragg peaks. In both cases extensions of the presently available model
s are necessary.
