Oxidation processes of alloy materials are important chemical reactions for the fabrication of protective layers used in various industrial applications. In this study, surface temperature dependence of oxidation of Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) was studied using synchrotron radiation XPS and molecular beams. It was found that no dependence among uptake curves was observed from 300 to 500 K in low oxygen dosage because a direct dissociative adsorption takes place in this incident energy region. In contrast, clear difference between 400 and 500 K due to Cu$$_{2}$$O formation was observed. This result suggests that thermal-driven diffusion of Au atoms into bulk depress the protective function for oxidation.
