Abstract
Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) images under flowing argon are re ported for successive stages of thermal oxidation of copper at room te mperature. These STM images show zones with high tunnelling current pe aks, more directly related to oxide growth than to the roughness of th e topography.
