Annealing process of a Cu nanoparticle on the graphite.

A series of HRTEM images as a function of elapsed time showing the whole annealing process of a Cu nanoparticle on graphite at 1073 K: (a) 0 s, (b) 10 s, (c) 13 s and (d) 27 s. The lattice fringes of Cu nanoparticle can be clearly identified in the entire shrinking process, suggesting that the nanoparticle keeps crystalline without any melting until it disappears completely.
