Abstract:Fe and Si films were tested as corrosion protection layers for Zr in nuclear industry applications. Surface chemistry of Zr in dependence on the preparation conditions and layout of the films was complexly investigated by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Corrosion experiments were carried out in autoclave conditions with in-situ Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. A clean Zr surface is characteristic with disposition to disorder and rough morphology demonstrated in facets, steps or terrace… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
