Abstract

Abstract: Here we present our observations of an anomalous desorption of copper oxides from a thin copper film during annealing as observed in an in situ transmission electron microscope. The epitaxial cuprous oxide that formed in air was observed to disappear when the specimen was annealed at 300°C and 10−8 torr. However, removal of the cuprous oxide that formed during oxidation in the microscope required both heating at 300°C and simultaneous exposure to methanol vapor.
