Popis: The early stages of the oxidation of plain carbon steels has been studied by 57Fe Conversion Electron Mossbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS). The potential of the technique in elucidating the nature of new surface—and sub-surface—phases formed on massive solid samples is demonstrated. The measurement of the attenuation of conversion electrons in iron-coated stainless steel substrates is shown to lead to a method whereby the thickness of the oxide films on iron may be estimated. Films of iron oxide containing 57Fe in natural abundance (ca. 2 %) may be readily studied in situ in the thickness range 5 to 500 nm.
