Abstract

AbstractEffect of moisture on the oxidation of copper was studied using in situ UHV-TEM. The ultra high vacuum condition is required for minimum contamination effects. The initial observations show that the water vapor reduces the oxide as well as reduces the rate of oxidation if both oxygen gas and water vapor are simultaneously used. Based on these observations, we have speculated on the role of moisture in the solid state reactions involved in copper oxidation
