Pusan National University Researchers Develop “Corrosion-Free” Copper Thin Films

The atomically flat copper thin films suppress the growth of copper oxides on their surface
March 21, 2022
Copper is the most commonly used metal in the electronics industry but its life is limited by unwanted corrosion i.e., oxidation on copper surfaces. Now, scientists from Pusan National University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Mississippi State University, have developed a new method to fabricate atomically flat single-crystal copper thin films with semi-permanent oxidation-resistance, as well as revealed the mechanism behind the oxidation of copper.
Copper (Cu) is of fundamental importance to our daily lives due to its excellent electrical conductivity, as well as other valuable physical properties, such as the ability to draw copper into … Read More → "Pusan National University Researchers Develop “Corrosion-Free” Copper Thin Films"
