Abstract
IN recent years numerous studies1 have been carried out on the short-lived reactive species formed in an electric discharge after trapping and storing them on a low-temperature surface. This communication is concerned with the interaction between the discharge products of oxygen and the metal surface upon which they have been trapped at a low temperature. Copper was chosen as the metal to study because it is frequently used as a condensing surface. Also some data are available on the low-temperature (77° K.) oxidation of copper by molecular oxygen2,3 and on the reaction of oxygen discharge products with copper at elevated temperatures4.
