: Reconstruction of the Cu(001) surface due to oxygen gas impingement on a clean copper surface was directly observed by in situ UHV-TEM. Strain contrast between differently oriented surface reconstruction domains, assumed to be radical2 x 2 radical2 R45, were clearly visible by this method. The reconstruction precedes the nucleation of Cu2O islands. When Cu2O islands were partially reduced and then re-oxidized, a dwell time before formation of Cu2O was noted, demonstrating that a reconstructed Cu-O surface monolayer is necessary before oxide formation.
通过原位超高真空透射电子显微镜（UHV-TEM）直接观察到，由于氧气冲击清洁的铜表面，Cu(001)表面发生了重构。通过这种方法，可以清楚地看到不同取向的表面重构畴之间的应变对比度，假设其为√2×√2 R45。这种重构先于Cu2O岛的成核。当Cu2O岛部分还原然后再氧化时，注意到在Cu2O形成之前有一个停留时间，这表明在氧化物形成之前，需要一个重构的Cu-O表面单层。
