Abstract
The roughness of the (110) surface of face-centered-cubic copper has been measured between 200 and 700 °C, by x-ray diffraction. The changes observed are reversible and suggest a roughening temperature of ≃600 °C. This value is compared with simple theoretical estimates and found to be in satisfactory agreement.
