Popis: Diffuse x-ray scattering under grazing incidence was measured of $\mathrm{Pt}\text{\ensuremath{-}}47\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{at.}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}%$ Rh(110) and (111) surfaces at $1000\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. The elastic scattering contributions of short-range order scattering and displacement scattering were separated from the inelastic scattering contributions that served for data calibration. The modulations in short-range order scattering are small and indicate differences in the near-surface microstructure of the two surfaces: a global maximum at $1\frac{1}{2}0$ (as for the bulk microstructure) for the (110) surface and at $\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2}$ positions for the (111) surface. The dominant nearest-neighbor configuration of both surfaces is reminiscent of the segregation profile of a (111) surface. A tendency towards the bulk ``40'' structure is only noted for the (110) surface.
