Abstract
Preliminary X-ray observations on the crystalline changes produced in the metallic and oxide films of copper during the activation process appear to supplement the results of Garner and Stone1. The accompanying X-ray diagrams were obtained from narrow slivers of rolled copper sheet 0·0025 in. thick, using copper Kα radiation filtered through nickel foil to remove the β component. A flat quadrant plate spectrometer was used for the comparative X-ray measurements.
