Studies have shown that with an increase in the processing temperature of the investigating samples reduces the amount of organic matter protecting the copper particles from oxidation. The conductivity of copper nanoparticles increases. The morphology of the surface and the elemental composition of the samples were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The microrelief of the surface and the measurement of the copper nanoparticles current-voltage characteristics were carried out using a scanning probe microscope in atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy modes. </p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Copper nanoparticles</kwd><kwd>surface morphology and microrelief</kwd><kwd>elemental composition</kwd><kwd>current-voltage characteristics</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by RFBR grant No. 17-07-00407-a</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Eastman A., Choi S.U.S., Li S., et al.
