Corrosion of gold by a nanoscale gold and copper beltlike structure

We report the observation of corrosion of gold at the nanoscale, in which nanometer-sized gold can be corroded in the air in the presence of copper at room temperature during ageing to form a compound of gold with residual copper. The compound is a nanoscale beltlike two-dimensional structure that g...
