Abstract

The nucleation and growth of Cu2O and NiO islands due to oxidation of Cu-24%Ni(001) films were monitored at various temperatures by in situ ultra-high vacuum (UHV) transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In remarkable contrast to our previous observations of Cu and Cu-Au oxidation, irregular-shaped polycrystalline oxide islands were observed to form with respect to the Cu-Ni alloy film, and an unusual second oxide nucleation stage was noted. Similar to Cu oxidation, the cross-sectional area growth rate of the oxide island is linear indicating oxygen surface diffusion is the primary mechanism of oxide growth.
