Reflectance Spectroscopy and Auger Spectroscopy of Metals and Alloys.
Abstract
Optical reflectance studies have been demonstrated to be a valuable tool in probing the mechanisms of corrosion, passivity, and protective coatings on metals and alloys. Although Auger spectroscopy is necessary to characterize the surface, the use of different wavelength intervals to obtain different optical penetration depths is an important consideration in understanding mechanisms taking place in transition layers between the surface and the bulk. Further measurements on the infrared characteristics of synchrotron radiation have shown that the synchrotron provides a valuable source for surface studies in the infrared. The report briefly describes the author's work in this area.
