The evolution of compact surface of the 100 nm copper film deposited on the glass-ceramics doped with vanadium coating … roughness of copper films. The amount of the metal reacted has an almost linear dependence on the reaction time. AFM scans … indicate that there is the same mechanism of the reaction between copper and carbon tetrachloride for all solvents. …
