Abstract
This thesis investigates the effect of stress on the
physical adsorption of methanol, It is found that methanol,
adsorbed from an atmosphere of nitrogen saturated with
methanol vapor, effectively lubricates copper when contacting
a thick layer of tin. Methanol does not, however, lubricate
when the copper contacts a thin layer of tin.
