      abstract     = {We present a procedure to prepare single-crystalline,
                      high-purity Cu(001) films (templates) suitable as substrates
                      for subsequent epitaxial thin-film growth. The template
                      films were grown in a dedicated molecular-beam epitaxy
                      system on a Cr/Ag/Fe/GaAs(001) buffer layer system.
                      Low-energy electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction were
                      applied to determine the surface orientation and the
                      epitaxial relationship between all layers of the stack.
                      Post-annealing at moderate temperatures enhances the quality
                      of the film as shown by low-energy electron diffraction and
                      atomic force microscopy. X-ray photoemission and Auger
                      electron spectroscopy confirm that no atoms of the buffer
                      layers diffuse into the Cu film during the initial
                      preparation and the post-annealing treatment. The completed
                      Cu(001) template system can be exposed to air and afterwards
                      refurbished by Ar+-ion bombardment and annealing, enabling
                      the transfer between vacuum systems. The procedure provides
                      suitable conductive thin film templates for studies of
                      epitaxial thin films, e.g. on the magnetic and
                      magnetotransport properties of Co and Ni based films and
                      multilayers.},
