Popis: Thermogravimetry (TGA) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) were employed to examine the oxidation behaviour of Cu. Thermogravimetry was used to study the oxidation behaviour of bulk Cu (99.9% purity) in the range 250 to 500°C. Within this temperature range the predominant oxidation product was cupric oxide (CuO) and the reaction followed a cubic rate law. The activation energy was calculated to be 71 kJ/mol. At lower temperatures (
