Abstract
The influence of an oxidized surface on conduction-electron scattering is studied by means of weak electron localization. The anomalous magnetoresistance measured in very thin Cu layers clearly shows an enhanced magnetic scattering which may be explained by the presence of paramagnetic oxygen at the film surface.
